Default Oldest Active C5 Owner

I am a kid at age 63 owning my first Vette for a year. it would be interesting to determine our oldest owner/driver. Person has to still drive the car!

Don't be shy; fess up real age! Pictures would be great!

67 this year and on my third Vette. My father passed away in 2013 at the age of 90, but up until that time he always asked, "when are you going to grow up"?

That story reminds me of Sam Maloof (the woodworker) whose main extravagance was that he bought himself a new 911 every couple of years, right up until his death at 93. The local cops were always amazingly tolerant of his, um, spirited driving style.

Maybe that's why they refer to us as "CF Senior Member"?
