Would you rather own a Corvette, Chevelle, or Toyota?
According to Hagerty, for the same money you can slide behind a 1970 FJ40 or a big block Corvette. But it’s a $9,000 upgrade if you want a Chevelle. And Corvette LS6 is valued little more than its 1970 Chevelle counterpart even though Chevelle production was 24 times greater.
Values for #2 condition:
1970 Toyota FJ40 $52,300
1970 Corvette LS5 coupe $52,400 (4,473 coupe and conv produced)
1970 Chevelle LS5 coupe $61,600 (4,298 coupe and conv produced)
1970 Chevelle LS6 coupe $130,000 (4,475 coupe and conv produced)
1971 Corvette LS6 coupe $141,400 (188 coupe and conv produced)
Is Corvette getting the respect it deserves?
