I sell used Corvettes and I can tell you most of my customers are from 40 and up. I will also say that we do a good business in the 60 to 75 age group.

I have seen the half-century mark. It would be interesting as well to see the average age by generation (C1 to C5). There are distinct differences in culture in the various Fora here.

When I was 20, you never see a 50 yo guy wearing blue jeans
and banging gears in big V8 sport cars. They drove
4 and 6 cyl's cars. Now the kids drive the little motors.
Point to ponder.

Just turned 45, had the vette since I was 26.
Anyone else seen the pic of the guy being buried in his C4?
I think the poll you mention is more new Vette owners as they are the ones who can afford the C5's.
BTW, you are only as old as the girl you feel!

I bought my 80 when I was 19. I am now 34, and still have it. I would never consider getting rid of it. I may consider another though. This one has long been paid for and is very sentimental to me. Interestingly, I just got pulled over by a cop for the first time in my vette in 15 years! Got a ticket for turning left into the right lane of a 2 lane hwy. Bogus ticket huh?

I was into Muscle Cars in my younger days. Bought a 1976 Oldsmobile 442 (455 Rocket) when I was 22. Still have it and I'm 47. Picked up my first Vette last August (1976 L82 4 spd.) They both can GO!
