Depends on how I hold up. My uncle is still pulling gears at almost 80. That's 46 years I'm hoping for. Minimum.

I'm 64 but I'm not selling until I reach puberty.
THAT's how young my car makes me feel

UHi, never , but who knows when I am eating prunes and wearing a diaper. Having said that, 68 and still using the car as a daily driver .

It is not an investment , it is part of my life and has been for 45 years

So drive the sucker

Age? My kids will determine when to take the keys from me. When will I sell it? Tomorrow, because tomorrow never comes.

At the estate sale of course, unless relatives adopt them. I must have them in great condition or there will be griping, even at the price of free.

Jack you keep the prunes, we Cheeseheads just eat plenty of cheese so no need for diapers, they keep us plugged up pretty good!! Summer cruises for Wifey & me often times involve a stop at a cheese factory. So no plans on stopping driving the '64.

Sold the 63 when I was 63. Having had Corvettes in C 1,2,3,4, and 5 series over the past 40 years my wife and I now enjoy the C5 most of all. Miss the styling of the C2. Still smiling every time I get into the Corvette.
