Anyone in Hawaii has corvettes
Now that I"m back in Hawaii I would like to meet some one having a Corvette early if possible 53 to 67 because I had many of them in the pass

Which island?
I lived on Oahu from 2004-2012. There were lots of C6s (including mine and lots of my buddies), but very, very few pre-C4s out and about. C1s were like hen's teeth and and a very few C2s/C3s came out for shows.
I don't recall where I found it, but Hawaii has both the fewest total number of Corvettes as well as the lowest percentage of Corvette ownership of any state, including Alaska.

My buddy Russ has a ‘66 just coming out of the paint shop in Kaneohe, Oahu. He won’t be back in Hawaii until Tuesday. How long are you going to be there?

Hi Roy, I lived on Maui for 10 years up until this past year. There were a handful of C1s and C2s there, including a very nice 53. I know Oahu has more newer vettes than old ones. I had the only 57, but I knew of a 56, 59, 60 plus a few C2s on Maui. Hopefully I will get back there before too much longer. This Midwest weather sucks!!

I sold my 1966 Mossport green/green interior 427/390 coupe to a guy from Maui in 1993. I can't recall his name but he installed tile for a living.
The car would be memorable as it was pretty loaded. A/C, PS, PB, PW, KOs, SE. I don't know if he still has it or even still lives there.
I took a 1965 Corvette convertible in trade from him that was a 365 h.p. Glenn green/saddle car.
