Greetings!

I was 35 when I bought my first - A 72 Sunflower Yellow
350 4-speed.

I sold it (Dummy) and after a 10 year absence, a month ago,
bought my second - A project car - A 70 Monaco Orange 350/350
4-speed convertible.

I'm 35, but I don't have a C3. I love the vintage Vettes though. Does that count? No, I guess not.

Default A little younger and a little older

I Just turned 43 last week, got my Shark as a Christmas present from my wife 3 1/2 years ago.

I have wanted a C3 since that summer day when I was 5 and a C3 with side pipes drove by my house and I could feel the thunder. Took me way to long to get my Vette.

45 and counting!!! Bought my first Vette back in 1980, (a 1976 L82 4spd), while I was working at a Cherolet dealership. I was only 18 years old.

I have had 10 C3's in all, from 1968's through a 1982.

Bangkok Dean,

I was noticing that as well.
Did you also notice how much nicer the
driveway looked back then and my US and Michigan State flags -
they were new at the time I took the picture of the 72. It looks like
I need to resurface the driveway and buy some new flags.

Yup I noticed those also but did not want to rub it in. I also see the front deck is changed. Also who is the babe in the window of the house?
