I don’t completely agree with this statement. Case in point: 1963 Corvette coupe (all were split window so they are all desirable). The least desirable would be with the common 327 (non hi po) V8. ...

Once I saw this one in person, I had to buy it immediately. In person it’s (in my opinion) even more amazing than in pics. The way it changes in the sun vs indoors is incredible ❤️
