Gabe,
I'm not trying to play devils advocate but I believe you will find a decent Pantera going for at least $22,500...and that is basic. I have no idea of what your Corvette will bring (I have one too), but be VERY careful of trading a decent Corvette for a Pantera with major problems. Try and find someone with Pantera experience to help you.
