5 years today
Got my 72 five years ago today. I have to say it is without a doubt the best purchase I have ever made. Now onto the next five.

Hi j,
Yes, Corvettes can be very special.
Even back when folks were buying these cars new people either loved them or wanted to throw rocks at them.
Now… not even ONE picture????
Regards,
Alan

I've put about 14k on it in five years. No major work mostly stuff to keep it off of a flatbed. Stock small block no mods original. Stuff like,tires,belts,hoses,timing chain,valve seals,carb overhaul,tune up,fuel pump,by pass heater core not sure how old it is and don't need heat don't want to have to worry about an anti freeze bath on a ride, re seal wiper door actuator,I think that's it. Great car!
