    Should I take in a stray vintage Vette???

    OK, came across this locally. It's in damn good condition for a 20-year old model, and I'm already haggling with the dealer that has it. The price is reasonable, and the maintenance records and CarFax reports are exceptional.

    1986 Chevrolet Corvette
    Mileage: 72,000
    Body Style: Coupe
    Exterior Color: Silver
    Interior Color: Gray
    Engine: 8 Cylinders, 350ci TPI
    Transmission: Automatic
    Drivetrain: RWD
    Doors: 2
    Wheelbase: 96"
    Features: ABS, Air Conditioning, AM/FM Radio, Cassette Radio, Cruise Control, Leather Interior, Power Locks, Power Mirrors, Power Seats, Power Steering, Power Windows, Radial Tires, Rear Window Deforster, Tilt Wheel, Tinted Glass











    I'm starting to think this little race puppy needs a new home.

        I would consider 20 years as vintage.

            NOPE! Keeping the 'Stang as the daily driver, but wanting something to play with on the side. The Vette could make a nice mistress.

                I have a '68 Harley and have a problem considering it "vintage." My '86 is not even close to being vintage.

                I would think a vehicle has to be at least 50 years old to be vintage.

                  Had to Google it:

                  According to ICBC's rules, to be eligible for the special discounts a car, whether antique or collector, must be at least 30 years old. Which means that as of January 2005 any automobile built in 1975 or earlier now qualifies as "vintage." So from this moment forward only cars that meet ICBC's definition will be referred to as vintage, a limit that makes life easier when deciding which vehicles to feature in upcoming articles.

                    Well pardon the fuck out of me, I guess the terms "Vintage", "Antique", and "Classic" can only be used when somebody who is really old is constantly posting, posing, and taking pictures with women young enough to be his grand-daughter.

                      Oh man, and I just threw out some 17 year old cars to make room for a new ride. Should have kept them 3 more years

                        Attitude problem? I am not the one that set the guidelines for what qualifies as a vintage vehicle.

                                      maybe you took a 12 y/o to prom... but normally you have to be at least a freshman to attend... and that would be 14-15 y/o....

                                        I wouldn't call it vintage either but it looks very nice and it brings back '80s flashbacks!! Go for it!!

                                                I guess you have to be fan of the 80's vette's. I personally think the older model from the 70's is a better look.

                                                  over here 20 to 30 year old cars are called "youngtimers" - compared to "oldtimers", that are 30 years and older.

                                                  one of my cars is also 20 years old, i prefer them over any new car that everyone can buy.

                                                  and i really loved that Vette when I was a kid, so I would say: go for it!

                                                    Not bad TD, the '86-'88 TPI vettes are fun to play around with. Is it a Targa or just a straight Coupe?

                                                                              Really?

                                                                              What is a historical vehicle or a vintage vehicle?

                                                                              A historical vehicle is a vehicle that is more than 25 years old. A vehicle qualifies for a historical registration when it begins the 26th model year. For example, a 1978 model vehicle qualifies for historical registration in 2004.

                                                                              Some vehicles that are less than 25 years old and have unique characteristics can qualify for a historical registration. The DMV determines if the vehicle has historical, classic or exhibit value.

                                                                              A vintage vehicle is a historical vehicle and receives a historical registration. The registrant of a vintage vehicle can put vintage plates on the vehicle. Vintage plates are authentic NYS vehicle plates that were issued during the model year of the vehicle. More information about vintage plates appears below.

                                                                                  In Massachusetts you can get an "antique" plate if your car is more than 25 years old AND you only drive it to shows. If you're caught driving it other than to a show, they take the plate.

                                                                                  The alternative is year of manufacture, as there are no restrictions by the state. The head of each DMV office has to personally inspect each plate to be sure it's authentic and doesn't have too much wear and/or rust.

                                                                                  Your insurance company, however, can set restrictions. Hagerty Insurance, for example, really has no mileage limitations for classic cars. Other companies I called limited me to either just going to shows or 1,000 miles per year or less. Hagerty won't, however, let you use a classic as a daily driver.

He sold it a week later for $14,000 Canadian. Just to let you know what they are worth around here.

                                                                                                    I was surprised how nice the car was. I never heard a lot of nice things about the 80's vettes, but after driving in this one I really wanted to buy it myself.
