Default Is Three Really a Crowd??

Just picked up this Silver Blue 365hp coupe to keep the Roadster and Z06 company. This hobby is going to be the end of me. Anyone looking for a nice '64 Roadster?

It was a friend of a friend. He had it for about 14 years and was supposedly the second owner however he does not have any paperwork from the previous owner. From what I have checked it has an original motor and trans. I was looking for a coupe when I bought the roadster but I wasn't really looking for anything right now. It just happened. When I handed over the check I could tell he really was attached to the car.

Not sure what the future holds. I have never been a numbers matching guy but I am not sure I want to do anything that can't easily be changed back....for the next owner who may be a numbers matching guy.

My wife thought that 2 was a crowd when it came to Corvettes, so I went out and bought a 54 Corvette project car and now it is not a crowd it is a party. The 54 has a 66 coupe and a 72 BB keeping it company. I love it when a plan comes together.

Everytime I see your collection I wonder how someone ends up with that many Vettes. I think I get it.

That's simple Roy, you just buy them!

By the way, no 3 is not a crowd, it's a collection And once you realize you have a "collection" then adding more cars to the "collection" seems like the next natural step!

I thought "Three" referred to people, and instantly thought, "In a '63 through '66, no. In a '67 (handbrake instead of cushion) YES!"

One thing that keeps 1967 from being the undisputed best C2. Another is the lack of knock-offs on alloys AND hubcaps. ALL Sting Rays are cool, whatever the birthdate.

For me it ends with storage space. I'm willing to rent three 10x20 storage units to store part of my collection. I'm not willing to rent four of them, and I won't park a car outside, so I'm currently "full" at 7 cars until I buy a different house.
