Darn, I could have bought one for $3,500 20+ years ago that was in mint
condition. The owner was pissed about the wheels being stolen twice in 1 year.
He had no place to store it and left it in the apt. complex parking lot where
he lived. It didn't last long as that price was good even back then. I didn't
have any place to park it either.

Speaking of Corvette's -- (Happy Ending)
A Savannah, GA man was reunited with his car, a new 1968 Corvette convertible, that was stolen from his New York City parking garage in January 1969. A customs agent, doing routine checks on containers in a California port being shipped overseas, got a hit on a VIN number he ran for the Vette, headed for Sweden. When detectives in New York City began working the case, there were bets of steak dinners floating around over whether or not they would be able to find the cars rightful owner. Sure enough, they did. The look on the guys face was priceless as he was reunited with his car, as was the cracking of his voice as he talked about it. There is no indication of where the car has been in the past 30-some years, because no one has apparently tried to insure it or license it. By
the way, a mint condition 68 Vette convertible will fetch you around $100,000 these days.
