And you can get classic insurance on a new vette since I reality people don’t buy them as a primary driver . A lot if the downsizing of HP in the 70s was more because of the lack of gas and the new emissions standards . I work in a gas station during both gas shortages in the 70s . Nobody wanted a muscle car when high test was 50 cents a gallon at least for an everyday vehicle . Now you can 700 plus HP and full emissions control and get high 20 to 30 mpg
Just for giggles I got a price on a 2025 corvette on my Hagerty policy value 150k 100 deductibles 250/500 liability used for pleasure $2095 for 1 year

I pay four times as much for my 95 Z/28 as I do for my 72 Blazer...

Free market, maybe?
