Default My old Vette

This is a 1982 Collectors Edition Vette. It started its life as my uncles car! He originally bought the car for his daughters first car. She put 9k miles on the car and ended up not liking it! They sold the car to a good friend of my dad's. He kept the car for about 3 years, and put 4k miles on it and decided he wanted a new one! He traded it into my dads dealership and my dad sold it to a guy right out of town from our home! The guy got the car in 87 and kept it putting 10k miles on it. The car was parked in a barn in 1996 and My dad and i have been trying to purchase it since then! Onto the pics of the new car!

It was worth what i paid but idk if its sentimental value or if its actually worth that! I would say in a few years ill get a return on my investment! What do you guys think this would bring retail? new seat covers(all original) very clean and all original and would get in it today and drive it to california from here!

gimmie your opinion on what its worth!

That number is very close to what i gave for this car! with all the right stuff, prolly not worth much right now but if i take care of it and keep it all there it will be a gold mine in 20 years i hope! but not really wanting to make money just like the history of it and how its a part of my past!
