man… I’ll still have to dissagree.

You own a 50k house, you can throw a regular party… but when you own a 500k house, you throw a better party! I think being able to drive something that has been built to drive and enjoy should be. Just b/c its worth x amount of dollars shouldnt hinder you from enjoying what it was really built for. Maybe I love the industry too much, but any car built to be driven, despite its value, should still be driven. If its just going to sit and collect dust, then let it be a shell or a model so it can depict exactly what it is.

I defiantly understand where you are coming from, I am like that too (just like I said to sell it and buy a Ferrari that you can actually drive )… but I still have to disagree, why would my dad take out his 1/4 million dollar car on the shitty roads of PA with all the idiot drivers out there, when he has:

1969 SS Camaro
1969 Z28 Camaro
1969 Z28 Camaro
1966 427 4-speed Corvette Convertable
1969 396/375 Nova (not done yet)

Still even then, the Vette and Nova are worth a little over 100k each also (I think vette got appraised a lil under 150k)… I would shit if something happened to the Vette or Nova… imagine the COPO getting damaged at 2 1/2 times the value of that. Its just not worth it… my dad is a car guy as you can see and loves taking most of his cars out, but he also is not an idiot to risk someone hitting that COPO car. Also you have to look at it like this, say there pulling 250k… if his was NEVER driven after the restoration that pulled 99.9 points, he might get another 25-30k out of it on top of the value.
