Default 63 silver blue roadster




Deer hunt, Kilgore Texas while in college in 1969

I lost this car two years later when a drunk hit me head on a Milwaukee Wisconsin expressway, New Years Eve . Of the 5 Corvettes I have owned, it remains my favorite.

My first was a (used) 1956. Replaced with a new 1965 FI 4speed, Posi, HD Suspension Coupe.(raced./autocrossed first weekend owned, and ever since) Currently owned by Brian Hobaugh. Next a used 1966 427/435 Coupe. Then I "jumped ship" for a 1972 De Tomaso Pantera (pre-L) got tired of waiting for promised "mid engine" Corvette. Bought my second new Corvette (Z06/7) last year with a NCM delivery. By far the best yet. My next new will be "finally" that "mid engine" when it's produced.

1st Corvette I drove was a '67 with a blown 427 sticking out of the hood.

1st Corvette I owned was an Arctic White 2000 coupe that I owned for three years, but sold a year ago. I am now in a Victory Red 2008 Z51 Vert that I bought about four weeks ago.

Except for the 8 months that I owned a Camaro, I've had a Corvette continuously since Sept. 2004.

My 03 Z06 was my first.... but it wasn't for lack of trying to get a C3 first! I probably tried to buy 5 C3's and the deals never worked out.



My '03z at the dealership where I found my C7





My '79 after I finished painting it in my garage the week of Christmas '15

Owned a brand new 95 C4 for 5 years, a used 99 C5 for almost 9 years and a new 13 GS for almost 3 years. The C6 will be my last since I have zero desire to ever own a C7.
