After 39 years, Tenn. man reunites with stolen Corvette in Scottsdale

With inflation... the car is worth about DOUBLE what was then... (1970 Dollars had a LOT more buying power than now ). I figure, the car was worth about $5500 ('70s $$$) in 1970.

That would mean it was worth about $30,600 (of today's money) in 1970.

With inflation, worthles Thin Air Money ( printed by the ton) it is more like 10 times the original cost in todays money ( if you can call it that)

I thought it was just as he had it in 1970...

Only driven 12,000 miles.

If its all original it would be worth that.

????????

Would love to see pics.

good story, pops bought a 62 today from an estate, 327 auto air car with both tops. will try and get some pics tomorrow when he gets back with it. says they have a 69 charger 440 4 sp car too for 15k. would love for him to buy it.

Post pictures! My dad had a 62 auto the whole time I was growing up, then he added a 62 4 speed. He just got tired of fighting old cars, miss them though. The 62 is my second favorite behind the 67 427 vert.

will do. hes headed to get it this morning. my first car was a 60 convertible, had a 327 out of a 65 vette with a 4 speed. i got it when i was 14. my first restoration. took me and a mechanic 2 years to re-do it. wish i still had that car.
