Dang! Your 50th Vette?
I suddenly feel like a newbie. I am only on my sixth Vette over the last 23 years.

I'll be 70 this year. It will be the 50th Corvette I've owned. I've had as many as 8 at one time, down to just 3 now but the 2019 Z06 is going when the C8 gets here.I bought my first one when I was 14, it was a beat out 56 that I had to pull out of a field with a tractor.

. The one that gives me the least problems is always a favorite. I have had a few that I was not fond of and one in particular that I was very disappointed with and only kept it less that a year. It was a C7 Z06 "757" I had talked about it in another thread and not going to rehash it here.As for the keepers Mrs. Karen's 60 and the 67.
One of thimes we had more than a couple

The 60 is an absolute beautiful car. 67 big block is hard to beat. My 1st vette was a 73 that I bought when I was 18. Complete basket case. I rebuilt everything on that car and I had a “special connection” with it. There was always something going on with it but I had a blast with it. My c7 z06 I just traded in on my 19zr1 was another of my favorites. I started doing road courses with that car and taught my son to drive stick with it. The 63 red on red split I had is the only one I’ve owned that I regret selling. So far I’m in love with my zr1. Hope to own it for a long time. Still not a fan of the c8 although it is growing on me.
