just out of curiosity how many vette owners out there are 62 years old or better (i'm collecting social security) It took me 63 years to buy a "new" c6. Although i wish i had my '56 back right about now, it would make my retirement a liitle more $$$$$$$

Like Indiana Jones said, in the first movie,

"It's not the age, it's the mileage." Some days I feel closer to 80 than the 60 I just turned TODAY . My C6 was my 60th Birthday present to myself.

Since I am gonna keep it "forever", in a couple of years I will qualify for your "62-or-better-Corvette-Owners-Club". Until then . . . .

Call me lucky, my first Corvette I bought was in high school. 68 vert, used of course.

I'm not near 62...yet.

Sixty seven here, bought my first Corvette at 61 (70 big block). Been on social security for 5 years and getting a 3.3% increase in January. Doesn't get any better than that.
