First at 30
1969 Fathom Green Vert (427) (wish I still had it)
1972 White Coupe
1974 White Coupe
1976 John Greenwood built between 10 & 20 GT's which were street versions of his Daytona winner. I bought number 4 - great looking car
1988 Black vert (gray int)
1990 Black vert (saddle int)
1993 Dark Red Metallic Vert (Lt. Beige int.)
1995 Dark Red Metallic Vert (Beige int.)
1999 Magnetic Red II Clear Coat Vert (Lt. oak int.)
2006 Mont. Red vert (Cashmere)
Tempted by the Grand Sport to make it 11, but I may just "NPP" the 06 and wait for the C7.

Second.........2008 VY coupe.
Have 'em both. My hat is off to all the people here who have been able to get one at a young age! I just dreamed about them from age 13 to 56.

My first was a 97 triple black C5 vert auto @ 48 years in 05 , 1 year later an 06 std Red coupe and 2 years after that an 07 ZO6.Now The "Corvette Fever" set in in the late 60's with a ride in my cousins red and white 58.
