I never thought I’d be getting another Corvette, I’m in my 70’s. Purchased my first, a 56 in 1961. It was followed by several more C1s. Then came the C2s, several from 1963 to 1966 including a B Production SCCA car with a couple of spare parts cars. The newest I ever had until now was a 70 LT1. The last one, a 1964 coupe, optioned with all the Z06 parts except the N03 was sold in the late 1990s after a divorce. My Son decided about a year ago we should do one together so, after some searching, we settled on a 2007 Ron Fellows #219 with 13k miles and still smelling like new. Had the heads looked at last week and looking forward too many trips to IMSA or F1 races with my Son. I'm hoping this is the start of a long relationship with this Z06.

Hello everyone,
I bought my 1968 back in 1983 when I was in the Air Force, stationed in Texas and was 22 yrs old. I managed to hang on to her through the years, although she was parked since 1990 as life, wife and kids took a front seat. My son and I finally blew the dust off and began to ready her for the street. I truly enjoy working on this car, even though it took days for my body to heal after installing a new brake booster
. I am looking forward to meeting and learning from the members here and thank you all for sharing the passion for these great cars.
