C3 Owners Age
#142
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!

I saw a thread like this in the C4 forums and I was curious as to if the results we're similar for the C3's? Also if you would comment the year of your car and length of ownership/pictures that would be great too! Im really interested haha. Not looking for specific age just:
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

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

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!
