[QUOTE="Riley P, post: 17397, member: 2"] With how the market used to be, for a really good Camaro, you were looking at 45+ and C2's were pushing mid 60's (no pun intended). Now with the economy things are settling out. The price is not too bad. C2's were in the 50K range 10 years ago. I have not kept up on current prices but I image there should be a lot of C2's in the price you are looking at right now. If I were looking for one, I am biased. I would get the same that my dad had, a 65 convertible with a 365hp 327, side pipes, 4-speed, etc. That car sounded awesome and I can still remember the smell of that exhaust in our garage. As for buying a C2 in general, it depends if you are looking for another toy. Your 02 can be used as a daily driver, it gets great mileage, has A/C for those hot days (I guess the top does come off) and is as fast as any C2. The C2 on the other hand is not as reliable, will use a lot more fuel, can be taken on longer trips but won't be as comfortable as it lacks cruise control and sound deadening. You can't beat the style of a C2 (my favorite) and it should always keep it's value. So it really depend on how you want to use it. That is my 3 cents. [/QUOTE]
