Another birthday !
My '71 turned 43 on Saturday (just like me). I need to buy her something nice ... I think I'll do some online shopping this week. Too bad there is snow on the ground, I'd love to take a spin right about now!

Hi Jay,
Happy Birthday to you and your car! Was your car actually built on your birthday?
As I look back 43 is a good age, actually 40 to 50 is good, pretty much everything still works, and you're about as smart as you're ever going to be!
No picture of the car?
Regards,
Alan

Alan - I was born in Sept. 1970, so I actually wanted a '70 corvette, but I couldn't pass up the deal I got on my '71. I bought it when my son was born back in 2005, but have never owned an 'old' car (nor can I fix anything myself). To date, it has been running great (thanks to NJ forum members Gordon & Brett) ... and it has become my son's favorite toy (his name is even on the license plate)!

Happy birthday.
I wanted a birthyear corvette as well. I almost compromised and took a different year. But I stayed strong and waited for a correct one to show up.
14 1/2 years later I finally found my car.
