Where is the line between a fishable reel and a shelf queen?

Had blue '60 Corvette for twelve years. Had both hard and soft tops. Sold it in '92. Cool car, but I was glad to see it head down the road because I didn't have enough time to drive it as much as it should have been. Seals were starting to dry out and the carburetor needed to be rebuilt. Interestingly, I've never regretted selling that car, but it was fun driving around with the top off/down.

I'd stay away from any stock Chrysler Corp. vehicles from around '74 on. They didn't respond well to the  Fed. smog emissions standards. If you had the $ and ability to rebuild with older engine parts, they still had some nice mussel-car body styles.
