1960 - 35+ years - Ca. car - no idea of the # of previous owners
1965 - 3 years - Ca. car - 2nd owner
The other 14 Corvettes I've owned were anywhere from 2 to 15 years but never had less than 2 in my garage.

My wife bought my 2004 Z06 for me in March 2006, so 5 years 9 months.

'65 P/G convert, no idea how many owners but it's been looked after pretty well judging by the no-hit body. Got a few titles dating back to '79 (Missouri), had it 3 years so far and really enjoying it.

1980 - 31 yrs, 11 mos and 19 days
1967 - Sold it when I bought the 1980. Dummy me, the wrong one became the keeper. Of course, I like the '80 but the '67 would have been the better choice to keep for the duration.
2003 - 7 yrs
2009 - 3 yrs
2011 - 6 mo.s

Looks like Ironcross is the highest so far with 50 years.
In about a week I will celebrate having my 67 for 5 years. But it has been in the family for a total of 38.
