Nope ... I bought a brand new 1992 when I graduated college. I always wanted a corvette and finally was able to do it. It was a DD, and I sold it 3 years later (not a good DD). I bought my C3 in 2005 when my son was born ... I figured it would be a good father/son hobby ... boy was I right !

Nope, my first was a '65 396 roadster in 1977. In those days the "sharks" were called "late models."
My second (68), third (73), fourth (73), fifth (77), sixth (80), eighth (81 convertible), fifteenth (69) and sixteenth (69) were C3s.

One 1969. Bought it new in Feb of '70. Still own the car. .... I have been experimenting with replacing the "StingRay" logo with the new C7 version. As pictured below, I think y'all will agree that it's beautiful.
