Daren67

I am 46, and was wrenching on the 67 vette the last three nights from 9pm-10pm when wife and 4 kids went to bed. Was 14 when I bought my first car 1957 Chevy Belair, pulled motor wrecked my parents white carpet in house. Did it again at 17 with a 69 442 and at 19 with a 73 L82 Vette. Dad told me sell all these damn cars , settle down- get married and when I do he will give me the 67. Gave it to me when I was 35. Will pass mine down to either my 13 year old (who likes to go for a ride but never help wrenching wise) or my 3 year old (who eats/sleeps and eat corvette) sons when they turn 35. Will buy a C3,C6 in future to pass that down to other one.

That was interesting,,, funny thing is I make the same money now as the average owner did then,, back in 1978
and average age has turned completely around
I think you guys are holding on to your used cars to long

I bought my first brand new Corvette ('78) when I was 27. Kept it for about a year, but was so disappointed with lack of power that I sold it and bought my '64, that I've now owned for some 35 years now.
I celebrated the 27th, 35th Birthday last November.
Dang it son, time sure fly's when you get old.

I bought my 67 in 1974 at age 27 for $500. Now, 40 years later I'm 67 and the car is worth a lot more than $500 !!!

And too young to resist!

I started counting backwards a couple of years ago.....I'm only 39 now.

Me and my '66 are the same age! I have a feeling it'll stay in a lot better shape than I will for the long haul!!

Bought the '64 used in '66 at 17, still have it today at 65. It's been a real fixture at high school reunions, the prom queen and cheerleaders still dig it.

62 years in age. Bought my C5 new in '02 and our '67 coupe just last August.

I'm 65 except when I'm involved with my '62 Corvette! Whether it's driving, wrenching or just gazing at it I'm time warped back to my 20's or even further back to my earliest memories of my first ride in it in summer 1962 at age 13. I bought it in 1969 at age 20 from my cousin and I guess it has become a part of me over the last 40+ years.

Chuck72

71 here, first Vette at 21, currently on number nine.

It's been a good ride.

72 last September. Inconceivable!

Bought my first Corvette in 1961 but was crazy about them starting in 56.

Bought the "last" one in 1992.

Unfortunately I'm in the wrong forum, but maybe one day I can trade up to a mid year coupe. Grew up with a basket case split window in the garage. Still the coolest car we ever had and it never moved an inch in 10 years. My 72 is one alignment away from getting back on the road for the first time since the 80's. Had it since 06. I'm 37, and with one on the way I figured I better get it done now because I was the kid in the oft told story of how a restoration never got done because of a kid.

Ya, once you have a kid you're broke for at least the next 20 years. I had 3 so I was broke for 30 years.

I'll be 61 in June and I'm going to race my Formula car at Indy to celebrate my birthday ! SVRA Brickyard Invitational. Bought my 1st Vette at 17.
