Depends really on year and engine. With these two, I’d go with investment value and 63 will win every time according to all hot rod manuals from real muscle car times of editing and statistics to today; but, most know this but foreign investors shot the major cars up out of sight where the used to be middle class man/lady could no longer compete because of big money. It’s ironic, but the controversy we have today with the big money holding power and government decisions is no different with ‘classic and antique wooden boats (which is what I studied and brokered vessels in as opposed to collectible cars). With new style Vettes, I’m still looking for a 1970, LT1, 350 with 370 hp, BUT I would be discouraged knowing the price would be like another small home in a neighborhood that was dangerous! I mean no offense to people and their station in life, but my belief is the love we Americans have for cars and (some of us) for classic wooden boats, is a true parallel to some of the diversity or disparity in people. Good folks though respect both, it’s just “you can’t always get what you want, but baby, you can always get what you need”-and many times, it’s something that will get you from point A to point B. We are like people who love to get away from reality for 2 hours by being huge film buffs in America, and collectible cars/boats are the same way, we fantasize (unless we’re in the over 400 thousand a year income group) or for that matter have a loved one leave you a collectible in their estate, or lastly be a baby boomer and actually work your ass off to actually find the buy of your life and own it til’ your dying day then just maybe, I won’t bury it with me! (belly laffs and smiles) But, the one thing that keeps me coming to fb, if I had to choose, is the growing number of wooden boat and collectible car sites where most of us have something in common. Others come for fashion, music, and thinking of what it’s like to “live like the Jone’s”, while we all know it’s a short life and there’s no harm in knowing what your purpose in life is and what you would do if you did have the dollars to get what you wanted. We do have the lottery but the odds against mankind are so great, it’s insignificant to even go there. Sorry to ramble on but I do enjoy all styles of vehicles, not just speed and muscle era, so that’s when I want to get a particular desired wooden boat (perhaps raceboat) and do the whole circuit of shows when and if retirement came where you could relax while appreciating all the great stories that are written about how people got their particular nice chattel property and how they used it to improve their quality in life. (I’m not savvy enough to distinguish from year to year except when major changes happened; at least now, I used to be?)

If the hood is correct, the silver coupe is a ’65.. one year only w/that particular hood and the availability of a 396.

Thank you…I’m a Ford guy, I don’t know much about ‘vettes, but even I could tell that it’s not a ’63.

Looks like a ’72 350 to me, but I’m not a Corvette expert, just a Ford guy who appreciates ‘vettes. Do you know, or have a guess?
