Default Finally!!!!

good afternoon, fellow vettofiles!! I just purchased my 10th Corvette and this is the one I have wanted for the last 47 years. I have owned a 1959, 1965, 1969, 1972, 1973, 1976, 2000, 2001, 2002 but I always wanted a 1967. You see, I graduated from high school in June, 1967 but, obviously, couldn't afford a new Corvette at the time. Like so many of us in the hobby, we had other things to do. For me it was serving in the Air Force during the Vietnam War and after 6 years of service, I began life in the real world. I bought my '59 while stationed in Hawaii in 1970 and when I left Hawaii in 1972 I was happy to be sell her for $850 (crazy right!!) Over the next several decades family and career consumed much of my time and money but in the back of my mind I knew I would always find my dream car. Well, it happened today. I just bought a '67 Coupe in Ermine White with standard Black interior, 327/350, 4-speed, power steering, power brakes, power windows, A/C and side pipes. I couldn't be happier and wanted to share my joy with my fellow enthusiasts. Oh, and by the way, my new baby was born in June of 1967. Coincidence...I think not.
