I'm 40, I have only owned one, 1976 L48 coupe,it's white and has 44,252 original miles,I'm the 2nd owner and have had it some 10 years,the original owner is a old farmer who lives about 120 miles away and still calls me every spring to see if I still have her,He says even though he is elderly he still thinks of her in the spring and it makes him feel young again!

I'm 42. The only Corvette I've owned is the '80 I have now. I bought it from the original owner in 1995, when I was 29. I've always wanted an '80-'82 Vette.

I'm 23...Current owner of an 81'. The car was bought 3 years used from it's first owner by my dad when I was born in 1984. Now it's been passed on, and hopefully I'll do the same some day. I was raised in this car and I'll never sell it, I appreciate it too much and have so much sentiment for it.
