Four here. My current black/mod red 2002 Z06, a black/black 1980 resto slightly modded (for sale now), and two 77's (white/red and blue/bright blue) which I recently sold.
I'm always looking for another...but don't tell my wife.

how many
I have a friend that everyone I know calls Mr Corvette.. he's 72 I think and a very bright, first class guy. Dave was vetteless, so when we got our new to us 2004 "roadster" as Dave calls it I had to go by, let him see and drive it. Well, it gave him the bug for ONE more corvette. I took him to check on some prospects and he decided on a white 00 coupe with red interior his favorite color combo...
Thing is this is Dave and Sandys 83 corvette! He says probably his last. He's already detailed it to a very high standard and is looking forward to showing it in April at the local corvette club show (which he helped start)
Ladies and Gentlemen... Mr Corvette and his lovely bride of 51 years..
We've owned 3...78-73-04

Got my first Vette back in 1973; traded my '69 Road Runner for a '70 LS5 454 coupe.
Then it was on to a 73, followed by a 78.
Then in '95 I picked up a '92 convertible.
Sold that in '05 and got my '02 coupe.
After I retired in '02, I decided I wanted a Corvette that I could drive in the rain, snow, or whatever without worrying about it getting dirty. So I bought an 87 coupe that has now turned into a dedicated autocross/track day car.
Gonna be 69 in another month, and I may decide to find a nice C6 convertible as a birthday present to myself.
So only 6 Corvettes so far since 1973.

One, this one.
I seem to end up owning 2 of everything though, so I guess another will follow this one eventually.
V8 Monza; first with a 263V8 auto, light mods (intake, exhaust). 2nd came with a 305 4 speed, swapped in a 350LT1, cammed, etc.
T-Bird, my soft years. Duals, intake, sway bars, etc. to both. Realized I didn't like big heavy gutless cars, regardless of the luxurious part.
Cavalier Z24; both bone stock. Had a head-on with a dump truck in the first one (first brand new car I ever bought), so they replaced it.
BMW 325i; 1992 and 2003 (both manual of course) both bone stock except exhaust. Still have the 2003 bought in Jan 2007; now my winter car.
Only other car was a 1969 Cougar XR7 with the 290HP 351W; added headers, intake. Guess I'll need another one of those some day also.
