Old Vette or New Cobra

[lamaluv]

Jerry,

I have owned 4 older vettes, a 1960, 61, 63, roadsters and a 66 427 coupe. They were all a lot of fun to own and drive. The coupe oveheated in the summer and did not like slow, in town traffic but it did have A/C and windows that rolled up. I sold each of these cars and moved to the next adventure as many of us do. I now own a 24 year old ERA Cobra with a 428 engine. It will also overheat in the summer in slow traffic. It is faster that my vette was and is a bare bones trill to drive. All of my roadsters had tops that leaked in a good rain. I found that there are some things that are common to both the old Vettes and the Cobra. The main thing that makes me wish that I still had any of my Vettes is the value they would have today. The bottom line, I would not trade any of them for the Cobra that I have today.
