Default Today was a Corvette day, a good one.....

I am a bit reluctant to post these pictures.........................I hope no one thinks I am being boastful of my cars, that is CERTAINLY NOT the case. I am very blessed and fortunate to have been able to own and enjoy these cars. Today is the first day in almost 2 years that all 3 have been clean and running at the same time (engine changes, transmission changes, brake stuff, etc).................I actually drove all 3 for a few minutes this afternoon and thoroughly enjoyed it, so I wanted to share with you.

Now that is a great day! Beautiful cars. If I had a pick a favorite it would be....

Let me flip back and forth for a day or two and I might be able to pick one

Glad you had a good time today and thanks for sharing those amazing cars.

Beautiful.

Ha! 3 ladies! 2 of them are school teachers, and one is a biker babe! Great combination. No one takes it as boasting! We are all proud of what we have and sharing it with friends is just that ... sharing.

Rex I love all 3 cars. You know the early C3 road race cars are my favorite but I lust for that '67 exactly the way you built it. Enjoy! You have a great collection. Each one is special in it's own way. Sharing is not bragging.

Lovely collection!
It would take me at least 15 minutes to decide which one to drive every time i would need to go somewhere!
Do you actually car match to your outfit of the day?

Hi Rex,
3 very different, INTERESTING, cars!!!
When there are 3 like those, picking a favorite is pretty difficult!
Maybe the road race car.... but maybe the ....?!?
Good Pictures!
Regards,
Alan

Wow! A very nice collection. And each car is rare in its own way (e.g. there were only 29 1964s with J56 brakes).

Absolutely spectacular!

You are not bragging at all, as a matter of fact, I think you were holding back to not post them sooner.

Bragging would be to post them on a mustang site.

I can't choose a favorite either, but that L-88s hot!
