'64 is a great looking one too.

 

[Dude#1279435]

the C3 is the longest running Corvette model ('68 - '82) and while the pinnacle of performance was reached early on, the 70's into the 80's proved to be quite void of such. That is part of the reason for the pricing.

'56-67 the prime years?

I really don't understand cars but like to look. Apparently the story with the '70 Plymouth Superbird is they weren't selling because they weren't practical. Owners bought them, and once they started winning races they became sellable. It was a street racer, and they'd be listed at 425 horse for insurance purposed but really were 500 or more. The hemi 426 is more expensive than the 440 six-pack my cousin says. I'm sure more rare. They average 250-300K at auctions, and the hemi will go for more.

The father of a high school friend owned a Dodge dealership and my friend said his mom used to drive to the grocery store in one of these- IIRC, it was the bright green one.

Yeah but I'd never race a classic. It's for show.

while I don't race it, I have no fears of 'getting on it' !

Me too. That’s what it’s built for!!! I have raced my Camaro(also NOT stock), but it’s not really necessary. But then again, why have a bad ass car to just sit and look at? Btw. Love the stinger hood!

 

[Mikado463]

What year?

1967, there's but one year for the BB Stinger hood !

Remember these? 5.9L turbodiesel cummins. 1990s Dodge 6-wheel. Can't really speak for performance. Turbo concerns me.

That dually could probably drag your house across the yard! Lol.
Turbo is not a problem. Pretty sure every diesel ever, has one.

 

[Trebdp83]

Not every diesel had Turbo. Those Cummins engines were something. Straight six turbo with crazy torque at almost no RPM.

actually Ford back in the day (Navistar diesel) made a 7.3 non-turbo

 

[William Lemmerhirt]

Fair enough. Not all diesels have turbos. Wasn’t really meaning they all did, just most. I own three turbo diesels. That turbo Cummins dude asked about? BAMF.
