Also just pick up a 72, big block, numbers matching,rag top. Needs a lot of work but am looking forward to it!
Hi Roger, I'm 63 and graduated from high school in May of 1968. '69 vettes weren't released yet. How did you get one so early? I just got my first one 4 months ago, a '90 Z-51 coupe.

I've just come in from cleaning and detailing my suspension. I'm only 58, but my body didn't much enjoy kneeling and sitting on the road outside my house. I only have a 1-car garage. I dream of a "man-cave" like most of you guys seem to have!!

63 here. Bought first one at 62. Used to play with Mgs and Healeys. Got tired of dealing with rusty fenders and Flintstone floors.

Default 64 and more

Yepper , Im at 64 , just dont know how I got here so dang quik ...

Im a newie and an oldie

in total love with my first vette

Its a beautiful 1984 C4 auto coupe , cross fired FIE setup

I rebuilt the engine last year keeping the cross fire setup

thanks to Lunati cams who ground me out a ground pounding Cam

I polished and chromed all I could in the engine compartment ... looks awsome

It now runs crackin hard and looks even better

all the young bloods stand in awe when I open that hood

They cant believe this old fart did that one ... I love it

I named her Big Red
