I've had 6 Corvettes since 1969 and only one was a C2. The rest were C1's. Now I'm down to just my 1960. Sold my first Vette (1966) to a local fellow here in Brookings last year as a basket case. (still had the original engine & most mechanical though).
I briefly had a 1978 Silver Anniversary that I bought in Medford for my Brother-in-law in the Denver area and had to title it in my name for an easier title transfer. Hauled it there after 2 weeks. So I don't count #7.

So how about the current Pacific NW C1 owners chiming in/fessing up? Mine is a real basket case, bought it that way in 1977

I have a friend with a later model C1 here in the Portland area. The few times I've seen it it always looked like he was ready to take it to a show somewhere, always looked perfect.

My first was a Fawn Biege '62. Sold it in the '70s and was broken hearted until Ken bought me a '95 in 2006 and I got him hooked on Vettes. I have always thought the C1 60s had the best lines. Ken is in trouble if I ever find another Fawn Biege '62. But the older Vettes just don't ride,handle, perform like the newer ones. Hey CRC are having their open house/show on March 15. If you don't know them, they are the ones that put c1&c2 body on new chassis and running gear !

This is a snap shot of our clubs cars I made a few years ago. Note it is by Generation prior to the release of the C7.

Default I asked this about 18 months ago any updates?

How many C1's in the Pacific NW Forum?
Not on here often since I'm a Traditional Hot Rod/Custom type. Other than my 60 Vette bought as a basket case in 1977 and still sits, I've got a 1948 Lincoln Continental, 52 Chev Chopped PU, 1965 Comet Caliente HT, 1931 Model A Roadster and a 1959 BMW Isetta driven for 1 year and garaged ever since (probably my most valuable car)

There were at least 10 at xxx yesterday. I'm sure at least some of them are on here.
