im 22.
ive got a 69 vert and sold a 77 project car this summer.

 

Whoops I meant C5. And I dont have them anymore so what is to show off. I guess I could put them on as cars I had but I think that would be stupid.

 

Ah, lol actually I am in the boat industry now.

All gone for many years xcept the 77 and 2 79s which I still have.
All were bought new with the exception of the 57 which I bought
used in 59 for 900.00. Back then it was "just another used chevrolet"

 

Here is my question at 33 what the heck do you do for a living to have those kind of toys at such a young age?

 

I'm 53.

This 1972 L-48, 4-sp, no a/c car is very first vette.

For now, it shares space with a '72 Z-28 that I've owned since '82. Guess I need more garage space to satisfy my desire. Jones-in' for C3's!

 

I'm 58

79 blue, my first corvette.

 

I'm 50. The only Vette I've ever owned is my '76 that I bought new at the tender age of 18......

 

That is pretty damn cool that you still have it. It must be nice knowing that your car belonged to nobody else...and its 32 yrs old

75 Coupe sold in 87, no room for baby seats.
75 Coupe in process, kids are pretty much grown.

 

Thanks Brother.... I 've been lucky. I got married, bought a house, had a kid and never had to sell my baby!! I've told my wife to make sure the Vette is the first car behind my hearse on the way to boot hill......

 

My bride isn't really into cars at all but for some reason with all the cars I had so far, the only ones she likes are vettes.

 

I'm 37

1986 Coupe white over red; totaled that one

The only thing better than owning an old vette is owning as many as you can store..

 

For me, it was just that I outgrew the whole racing thing for a while. When I was 20, I had more money than sense ... I had both a Supercharged TransAm and a new Viper back in 2000. After seeing a friend wreck on the Gandy bridge (a former popular racing spot in the Tampa area) and end up in the hospital for two weeks, that was pretty much the push I needed to get out of the street racing scene.

Right around then I totally lost interest in the racing scene, but since I was still a motorsports junkie one way or another I figured I'd get into off-roading instead. I got rid of the TA and the Viper, but kept my 81 vette - at the time the only reason I kept it was because I had put so much time into it. The other cars I just had money in and didn't really care, but the vette was an investment in time - bought a $4,400 junker and turned it into a like-new beauty and I just couldn't part with it.

I ended up getting a Jeep Wrangler as my DD and kept the vette just to have a nice car to go out on dates in, it was always my favorite anyway. About a year later I heard about someone who was selling a fully restored 68 427/390 vert and ended up buying that. I've had all 3 cars ever since. Then last year I met some people that were racing and would rent the track for a day just to run their own cars around and figured I'd get into it again, so I picked up the 80 L-82 to build into a track car. Of course now I have 3 kids and more sense than money, so it's a much slower project now than it would have been when I was 20.

I don't really know what it is about the C3 where I just keep coming back to them. They're just timeless like that, and that sets them apart from every other car out there - even the other Corvettes. The chrome-bumper cars are nothing but class, and the 80-82's just have this look about them that's both classic and modern at the same time. I don't think I'll ever sell any of my vettes, and I probably won't ever sell the Jeep either. When you find what you like, you stay with it.
