40 years old today

Celebrating the 40th birthday of my 73 L82. 59,800 miles on her and running strong. Will celebrate by a drive with the wife to the local dairy for ice cream.

Happy Birthday to the car, and congratulations to you on making/keeping that car so nice!

Ahhh, Lewes. I can almost smell the ocean in the photo. Is that Cape Henlopen in the background? I spent almost every weekend in Lewes and Rehoboth as a teenager, all before I moved to Michigan. Still visit relatives in Lewes.

Take good care of that beautiful car...

Thanks to all.
Red - picture taken at Lewes Beach with the Cape in the background. A great place to live and drive the vette.

Lewes DE? I am in Snow Hill about 15-20 minutes from Ocean City. Are you going to be in OC next weekend for Corvette Weekend?

My wife and I cruised through OC last night in the "new" Vette and then we took the kids up today to look at the cars for the Endless Summer Cruisers Week. A lot of nice cars.
