I really think the cars owned me...


First a C3 (68) bought in 78...then wrecked it...

Then a 71 (purchased 1980 )which I still have-now silver

2 C2's (both 65s)

1 C4 (87)

then another C3 (73) bought a few years ago-

Total of 6-

Richard

I am on number 6:

1988 35th Anniversary Edition Coupe
2002 Black Coupe with red interior
2007 Monterey Red Convertible
2015 Black Coupe with red interior (loved the car, but missed the ragtop

Currently own:
2016 Bright red convertible
1972 Coupe.

We have enjoyed a lot of road trips in our late model Corvettes. These cars always create opportunities to meet new friends all over the country. We also love the conversations we have on the road when people see our cars. Everyone seems to have a Uncle Fred who had one of those 63 or 64s that was "way faster than the new ones."

My ‘63 isn’t faster than anything but I still wouldn’t trade it for a new one.

One. The 76 I have now. I want another one though. Maybe a 68-73 project will be in the future.

I have had 3, a 67 vert which I loved and drove every day through rain and snow. Until I realized waht it was worth and then I was afraid to drive it. After 10 years I sold it and bought an 84. Biggest piece of garbage Gm made starting with the peeling paint. But I learned never buy the first year of anything, And for the past 4 years I have a 78, still inpieces being restomodded and I am having more fun with that than either of the other two. Imagine my joy when I can finally DRiVE it. I guess we are all gluttons for punishment.

21 over the past 47 years. Looks like I probably won't live long enough to catch up with Greg, though.
