I love all three of those beauties. But that '67 is down right intimidating. Back in the day, if you pulled into a drive in in that, people wouldn't even be comfortable making eye contact with you. Awesome.

No need to be bashful about showing us those beautiful cars. That's why we lurk on this forum! To be envious of what others have. 
Terrific shots, of 3 gorgeous classics!

Ok Rex,
bragging rights are clearly earned with these rides.
They are not just corvettes they are thoro-breds.
As someone who has done allot of couselling, I'm well aware of your internal cry for help. The next time you are faced with this insurmountable task please just fly me to KY and I will gladly assist you with this burdoning task. No man can drive more than 1 car at a time and they all crave attention. I'm a coupe man myself I have a '68 427 car.
Does Bowling Green have a track? I have a badge maybe I can tin em and we can use it for some police persuit training.
Nice stable of rides my friend, I really couldn't pick one to favor as Alan said they are all unique rides unto themselves. Ok the black one, I lied
Ya done well
Marshal

I think you need to get a 4th. Then you can walk outside and shout out loud "Eenie...meenie...miney...moe...whic h one of you li'l vettes wants to go?"
Bragging would be like Hugh Hefner sitting in a hot tub with the 12 Playmates of the Year and thumbing his nose at all the other magazine publishers.

You interested in adopting me????? PLEASE..... Just Kidding great collection of classic Corvettes. Its not boasting if you work your **** off to be able to have the money to enjoy such great cars. Those who criticize and complain have most likely made bad choices in life which have kept them from enjoying life the way some others do.
You have done a great job on those cars, and should be very proud of that.
Regards. Sheldon

What can I say? I am overwhelmingly flattered.....................thanks to ALL of you for such kind words and comments, I mean it!! Thank you! Those comments are extra special when they come from one's peers.....................from ones who truly appreciate Corvettes. I am fortunate not only to have my family and my cars, but to have friends like you guys as well.
On another note.................................som e of you know that about a year ago, my wife of 39 years was diagnosed with "early onset Alzheimer's disease". This has totally turned our lives upside down and inside out...........................but with God's help, we will fight this battle to the end. I am fortunate to have my wife............ she was a "car enthusiast" when we met and she has always enjoyed our cars as much as me. She could drive a 4 speed as good as any one....................now, sadly, she doesn't know what a Corvette is..................she just says they are pretty cars.
This is NOT a solicitation for sympathy, so please don't take it as such. We would however appreciate your thoughts and prayers. This is a terrible disease and I'm sure some of you have loved ones or friends who have experienced it before or perhaps will someday.
Please forgive my ramblings.......................that was not my intention. Again, I want to express my sincere gratitude for all the kind words and many compliments on our cars. God bless each of you.

Rex,
Thank you again for sharing these amazing pieces of auto history... love to see cars cared for like that.
If you don't mind me asking, what is your wifes name? I'd like to add her and your family into my prayers.
God Bless,
Adam

My girlfriend's mother is showing signs of that terrible disease.
You have my best wishes in your battle.

My wife and I share your pain. We have an assisted living home that specializes in caring for folks with that disease and work with their families every day. Treasure each day with your wife and if possible join a caregivers group who support each other. Great cars, mine and my bikes are therapy as I'm sure yours are also. God bless and good luck.
