Good for you for NOT doing what most of us have done...Selling our future classics. I am sure you have loads of stories to go along with this history. And a great example of what a Corvette should be.

This is pretty amazing....
When I add the 47 years I've had mine, 4 of the first 6 owners on this thread have a total of 195 years of ownership of the same Vette..

I think i was 25 when i got the car, drove it for 6 months and did the Eckler flairs and hood.
Its a sb 350, old fuelie heads, edelbrock manifold, holly, t/b 400tran & shift kit.
I know there are 2 other guys on here that have 50 plus year ownership.
Yes, there is a website for One owners of vehicles but cant remember it tho, wish i could find it again.
After 6 months, Chevy said they would give me $1700.00 to never complain about the bad orange peal paint job, they tried 4 times to repaint, but it was terrible, so off to the body-shop.
