26 years as a daily driver. I don't even know how many miles. I'm guessing close to 400,000.

I have owned mine for 10 years or so and I have never owned/had/done anything that has given anywhere near the enjoyment I have gotton out of my Vette

I think I have had my 86 for a little over 2 years, my 73 for a about 18 months, my 72 for almost 6 months and my 75 for 1 month.

Every 6 months I have bought one????? Looks like a pattern to me.

27 years since new in 1979. Why did you cut it off at 15 years? There should have been over 20, over 25, over 30, and over 35 choices. Some of us old farts have been enjoying our C3s for a very long time.

I bought mine ten years ago today. Drove down to Portland with Dad, came home with a '71, to the surprise of my wife. Still have the '71. Traded in the wife for an upgraded model.
