I was 26 and it was in 1968. The car was a white on white 1966 convert 327CID 350HP 4spd with thin gold walled tires on it.
My "new to me" Corvette is a 1986, again a white on white convert this time with an A/T, which I bought two weeks ago. Forty-four years is a long time between Corvettes, huh - yeah, I'm now 70 years old.
In between I had a few Mopar's - 440's and Hemis. Life is, and has been, very good - LOL

At What Age
Very glad to see this thread is still is still going, there are guys as young as 15 to 16 and if I remember there was one man that was 92 when he got his first Corvette. I got my first one when I was 18 and had one pretty much non stop every since. I am now 65 and I have two right now. When I didn't have a Vette I filled in the gaps with Z28'S , 409 and 427 Impalas
I had a stroke on Christmas Eve and I am a little weak but keep sending me the story of when you got your first,
