Life before your C-5

What did you all own before you got your C-5? I'm guessing a lot of Z-28's and T/A's.

Strange Combo

Throughout the years (I'm 53) I've had 2- Triumph TR3's, a TR4, MG-B, Porsche 356 Coupe, BMW 2002, I raced one in IMSA &SCCA, VW Beetle,Volvo 142, Honda Accord, Civic Si ,Toyota Pickup, and now a daily driver F150. I never really had much of an interest in Corvettes as to me, they were a bit too big & clunky... But when they biult the C5....Wow! Plus, I'm 6'3" 245...Not too many choices! mY c5 Convertible shares the garage with a 1928 Ford Model A Tudor (hence the name) It's like a biplane and a F18 in the same hanger...

To many to list. The noteworthy ones are the '67 Camaro SS/vert, the '67 GTO vert, and the '02 Lightning. The Lightning was impressive. I added x-haust, pulleys and intake. That thing was scary fast - for a truck.
