Not quite the original owner, but I bought my '58 in 1961-52 years ago.

Ironcross will probably reply to your question as he's one.

Coming up to 43 years in December on my '64. I can remember my 1st day like it was yesterday. A gift from my Dad to stay in school--it worked. Spent 14 years in school post high school. Have put only 63,000 miles on it in that time.

To 40 years.

Thanks, Guys. I was born in 1964 and used to drive by the St. Louis plant regularly and see all those beautiful Vettes. Can I be in the club? Don't mean to hi-jack.

WOW, 40 yrs that is unbelieveable to have had the same car 40 yrs. Hell I will be married 40 years in June of this year and sometimes it feels like forever and that I was never not married. I don't know it that is good or bad but that is how it is one way or the other. Way to go with 40 yrs and keeping the same car. May have made it easier it being a 58 Vette.
