I am 45 and I have owned my 77 for close to 20 years. I am the 2nd owner, and I bought it from my uncle.

Coming up on 75 in a couple of months, started with a '62 FI @ 21, a new '66 roadster @ 24.
Purchased my '69 L46 coupe in '73 (2nd owner) still have it 43 years later. Had a '95 coupe for a few years 2000-2004, still like the '69 best. Currently working on upgrades, steeroids,Hydroboost, spreader bar. Did VBP front suspension & rear spring years ago. Working on a car you love never ends, the more I do, the longer the list gets!

Bought it on Veterans Day in 2010, I was 55. I'll be 61 in about three weeks. Glad me and the Vette are still here.

20 & Under
20 - 30
30 - 40
40 - 50
50 - 60
60 - 70 and so on
Feel free to keep to yourself if you want haha!
Personally I am 16 and have a 1978 recently restored by me
Man, that is a nice restoration job. Beautiful paint job. Very nice job

Alan, people like you are just one reason that I will be a Vette owner when I graduate college next year. You're obviously an older gentleman that is still very passionate about his car after all of these years. People like you inspire me. Beautiful car Alan

This is probably my favorite car in this thread so far! The white and chrome make the black pop. Fantastic looking car.

Thanks! By the way what year Corvette are you looking for and are you looking for a project or for the best condition you can?

I am 36. I bought mine from a member of this forum.

I did not want to wait until I was 50 to own a 1969.

I love the sidepipes and the wheels! I usually don't like yellow C3's as much as some other colors but this one really stands out! I like it!!!

I did not like yellow cars either.... But when I found this one I decided to give it a try. When you see it in person it is a whole different story.... I saw it and I had to buy it!
