Anyone the original owner of their vette?
I can remember reading a few years back, maybe quite a few years, of a woman who was the original owner of her l967, and this had to be in the '90s (?) and she was still driving it on a regular basis, and kept it in excellent condition. Anyone out there like this? Just a curiosity question. I wish I still had my '67 that I bought in '69...but...some of us make dumb decisions!

I am not the original owner, but I am the second and fourth owner. 
I would have liked to have been the original owner.

There is a local gal with a C3 I think.. maybe it's a C2 (I don't remember, I've only met her once) and she is the original owner.. she bought it when she was 19.

There is a CF member here in the C4 that he is the one and only.

No but I'm the original maintenance monkey. That is I got it about the time it needed some maintenance done to it. exhaust, injectors, intake gasket, water pump and such. The previous owners just paid to drive it. I'm paying for their miles and mine.

Yes, I'm the original owner of a 89 Bright Red coupe 6-speed, brought it from Midway Chevrolet in Phoenix, AZ on May 16, 1989, I took it to Turkey when I was still in the military. Still on the original clutch, use Mobile1 from the first oil change has 134,000 miles on her. She is still very aggressive. I'm happy.

Ordered and purchased my 85 exactly like I wanted. And it doesn't sit in a closed up garage. I drive it every day from April through November
