He owned several. Most recently, he had a 55, 63 (split window), 68, 07, 14, and the 54-55 prototype SO 2151. The first 5 have all found new homes with people who will care for them and give them new life (in the case of the older cars) or enjoy the ride and style (in the case of the newer models). I’m looking for the SO 2151 so that it may go to its intended home, the National Corvette Museum, as Uncle George always intended.
His cars gave him great pleasure and he loved sharing the history with other Corvette fans.

May be your third one but could be the first for Dirt Road Dreamer.... Only missing one thing in this picture and as soon as we move it can finally be complete!
It would’ve been 3. I had planned on buying a C8 but I don’t love them in person as much as I did in renderings. And no stick shift is a deal breaker for me. So I added a twin turbo Viper to the collection.

Nice cars I get it you are missing a paved driveway. Well when you move maybe after the first you will get a second. Great screen name by the way!!! Good luck with your search and your new house and a paved driveway!

WOW A C6 ZR1 CONVERTIBLE VERY IMPRESSED !IS THAT A ONE OF A KIND!!!!?
For the first time since I purchased my first Corvette back in 1993 I am lucky enough to have two Corvettes in my Garage at the same time! I tried a 1980 Z28 last month but found instead what I really wanted was what I had in 2003 and 2004 two different 2003 50th anniversary RED Verts.I stumbled across this gentleman that owns 6 car dealerships in Illinois but is 83 years old and can not drive anymore so he sold off his 12 or more Corvettes from his collection . Got this mint,perfect 2003 50th Anniversary RED Vert A4 3:15 performance axle and 12 CD changer. Car has only 3600 miles on the clock a little more than my 2017 3LZ A8 Z06 Vert LOL! Selling the 1980 Z28 which is black so I am back to being 100% Always Red Dave Again!!! LOL POST YOUR PICTURES GUYS! Thanks Dave
Very nice !!! The 50th Anniversary is beautiful !!

Thanks. A c6 jetstream blue zr1 convertible is one of my dream cars. GM should’ve made one. Obviously they never did and this is something that I am putting together.
I had a 69 L46 4 speed roadster and a 99 6 speed manual convertible at the same time. Both are long gone. I bought a new 13 3LT GS 6 speed manual convertible and traded it for a 19 2LT Heritage Package GS A8 convertible. I only have a 2 car garage and the other bay is occupied by the wife's 69 Camaro SS.
