I'm 52 or 53 now (can't remember) and bought my first Vette (78) at age 26. Have owned 7 (C3's and 4's) since the first one.

Grew up in a single parent (dad) household though and have been a right seat rider since I was 12. Family cars were 70's Vettes.

25, purchased my first a 1973 convertible a couple months ago.

I figure if I'm going to enjoy life with a babe magnet, I need to do it now while I'm still young. Too many "gangstas" around here driving Camaro's and Mustangs, so I wanted something a bit different. A friends been working on this ladies 75 c3 for a while, when I saw it, I had to have one.
Thanks.
Pretty much original except paint and top.
She's a driver. Very photogenic, not perfect. Just the way i like it.

How old were you when you bought your first Corvette ( need not be a C3 )

Thanks, I will see if my guess is correct.
67 in a few days bought first C 3 in 1972 a 70 LT 1 for $2650

Pretty good demographic spread here....I think the old farts have the edge though!
Us old farts definitely have the edge. The club I joined has an average age of about 60, my guess. And it seems that the vast majority of them currently own several.

Late bloomer: I'm 66; bought my first Vette - a '76 - 1.5 years ago.

Can't say what the future holds, but I doubt the next year will be spent dropping Crates or stances, swapping trans, taking out a 2nd mortgage for a 'proper' paint job, or increasing ponies to ticket-inviting power.

Nope. Jes' drivin' and changin' oil.

Got the bug early on as dad always owned Corvettes while I was growing up. I'm 40 now. Bought my first Corvette (a 69) at age 32. Sold it a year later and bought a 71 Convertible. Last year, I also bought a 72 coupe...

I'm 48, and recently picked up a '74.
I always loved the look of the C3's when I was a kid, used to have dealer corvette brochures on my wall above my bed. when I was in my late teen a buddies father has a '70 LT1 package 4 speed- black on black with chrome hooker side pipes. well he never drove it and didn't want it sitting in a garage so he's let me take it out to cruise nites and would tell me to "stretch her legs out", love at first sight!
