I'm 53 now and bought mine in 2011.
Took half a life time to afford it.
Have even less time left to enjoy it.
I drive it as much as possible.
Forget about this saving it stuff.

Wife & I have been building old cars for 30 years.... (see signature line) but our last project is our first Corvette.... a 1971 coupe. We bought it a couple years ago, and are building it for a "retirement toy". I`m 61 now, so it`s coming soon! Here`s some "before".... and "how it looks so far" shots.

I'm a "youthful" 62 I still have the 65 I bought in 1971. I've had my 68 for 10 years. I've owned about 30 Corvettes along the way over almost 45 years. Driving them never gets old, even if we do
Acquired mine 7 years ago at the age of 40. Between the age of 17 and 22 i was a mechanic and built several Pontiac street machines then with work I got out of it. Almost 20 years later I'm back at it, a little rusty but it all cam back
I'm 70 years old and bought my first Corvette in 1967 and since then have owned 8 different Corvettes. My current one is a 1978 Indy Pace Car with a modified engine cranking out 350 horsepower. Corvettes keep one feeling young once they get into your blood. LOL.
Bought my 72 at age 22. I'm 64 now. Best money I ever spent. I am blown away by the number of young guys that have posted in this thread. I believe the styling of the C3 will stand the test of time. One of the most iconic and beautiful cars ever made.
I am 51 in sept bought my first corvette around 16-17 it was a 72 bb convertible and I have never been without a vette since, sometimes more than one, always modded,
Somewhere around 2009 I bought my current 69 bb convertible,
and when I got the 69 it had a modded 73-79 front clip and rust caused a full body off restoration,
I am going for a flared old school custom road race tribute build
I m 62 . I bought my first in 1973 , it was a 66 Convertible 427 .. currently have my 12th, 13, th , and 14th in the stable
I still have the 65 I bought in 1971. I've had my 68 for 10 years. I've owned about 30 Corvettes along the way over almost 45 years. Driving them never gets old, even if we do
