I was 21 when I got my first one, 1965 fer coupe, on number 10 now an Arctic White coupe. This car is the reverse of the '65 which had white interior, this one has red interior. Age doesn't mean diddly. I have never known a man/woman whose mind was old.

As most have said here... Age is just a number.....doesn't mean squat. I have to grow old...but I don't have to grow up. But if you must know....62.

Had my first vette at 21. On my 6th vette.....'64, '65, '66....'01, '04 and '15. Still want a '69......

4th Corvette, 63 years young. I drive my C7 very aggressively in the central Texas hill country and think it's the best Corvette.

MikeC4C5C6...C7

For what it's worth:
C4 purchased age 32
Next C4 purchased age 37
ZR-1 C4 purchased age 39
C5 purchased age 46
Next C5 purchased age 50
C6 purchased age 54
C7 purchased age 62

I guess that history makes me a young Corvette guy who turned into an old Corvette guy, just like lots of us. You young guys can do that too, just drive spiritedly and carefully!

I like the C4 (1990 - 1996) was the Corvette model that got me interested. On my fourth one now; 2014 convertible.

I'll play again just because I want to put some representation on the board. I have the feeling I'm kind of a unicorn.............I just turned 31 and I'm black. I've been blessed to have some pretty cool rides up to this point, starting with an 03 Cobra at age 20.

I'm venturing to say that the C7 appeals to a younger crowd, more, as a new car, than previous generations. I think that's what GM was trying to do, but, I bet it's still overwhelmingly bought by old farts.

I, for one, am hoping that old stereotype doesn't get changed, if for no other reason, than cops don't equate a Corvette driver with a Mustang driver, and all that goes along with assuming the Vette driver is probably an older guy with a bit more sense than a young stud with too much testosterone.

41 and bought luckly #13 in Sept. 1st one used 95 at 24yrs old. Since then 98,99,00, 3x02(All Electron Blue),05,06,07,11,13,15.

You're not a unicorn, nor are you alone. I don't have a C7 but bought my C6 Grand Sport at 28 now I"m 30. My belief is older men represent the majority of the Corvettes demographics for obvious financial reasons. I also believe that the younger owners tend to not be as vocal or active in the on & offline community because of this perception. Just my 2 cents.

My first Vette was a loaded 66' 350/327 - 4 spd coupe with factory A/C... I was 20. Have owned over 50 new cars. I'm on my 4th Vette, a VY Z51 A8! My son also has a new Shark Grey Vert. He can afford it because he has stolen several vehicles (cheap cheap cheap) from me, including his 04' M6 Yellow GTO.
Why he listens to Madonna.... I just don't know! Me, I like Taylor Swift!

There are 4 types of Vette owners.

#1 OLD

#2 OLDER

#3 REALLY OLD!

#4 Dead
