At a small cars and coffee in Apex NC we has something seldom seen all together. Had every car but a C6 and then one drove by, saw us and was curious. We made a new friend and a great photo op.

I’m in Raleigh now, but moving soon. I have a 54, 96 CE, and 98 vert with me here. My 77 and 05 vert are at our other house. My 64 vert should be home from the mechanic by June. It is having the engine and trans rebuilt and a complete new wiring harness, plus the mechanic had to remove the four-link and dodge rear and put in an actual Chevy one with trailing arms. It’s been a 4+ year process. Hit me up with a PM and we can try to get together.

ETA...please disregard the status of the garage. It’s cleaning time again.

Thanks. Really can’t wait to have the 64 back. I love driving each one, mainly because they are all so different. None are trailer queens, all drivers. The C4 LT4 and the C5 have the highest mileage.

Thanks. My goal is to get a C7 vert eventually. I told my wife I will stop there as I had to come up with an end point. I figured staying with the front engine is the way to go. Of course I am still on the lookout for an 80s C4 convertible so I can have every decade too. Right now I only have the 50s, 60s, 70s, 90s, and 00. The second C4 and C7 will cover the 80s and 2010s.

Yeah, I drive them all. The C5 and C3 are automatics. The C5 sees the most use back and forth to work, but I think I am going to swap that one for my C6 next time I go to the other house. That way I can put some miles on the C6.

The closest I have come to having them all together at one time was 4. The C2 was at the mechanic (4 year rebuild...still ongoing) and the C3 was at the other house. This was before the 54 was repainted from the Ford Explorer red it was when I got it.
