The plate that reads 4UV8 (4 of 8) is a 1994, C4. Bottom left in the Brady Bunch square. 😂

Nice collection. I assume you still own all 4? Which order did you purchase them? What's the next one you're going to add?

I have a '12 C6 GS, and when I think about adding my next vette or vettes, to be honest I think about going backwards and getting either a '74 C3 (year I was born), a '93 C4 (Year I graduated high school), or a 2001 C5 Z06.

Yes, I still own all four. My goal is to have one from each generation. I suppose my first was a '72 purchased back in 1997, I sold that one years ago to build a Cobra (still have that too). Of this group, the 2017 was the first, shortly after my oldest graduated college. Then came the 72, 66 and 94 after the rest finished college. I'm the second owner of the 72 & 94. All have original drive train.

My next will likely be a 2022, I'm on the waiting list at my local dealer and think my number will come up late spring/early summer. I will be going to Mecum in a few weeks with an eye on a few C1s. Those have gotten very pricey and I don't see them coming down. I think I'll have to sacrifice originality for that one to keep a car I can enjoy and drive. I always have an eye out for a C5 & C6. Like all used cars (until recently), those are still depreciating or at least staying the same value.

My only time constraint is to get them all before the 9th generation comes out. If I take too long, I'm going to need to get new plates. LOL
