If you have multiple C3's - just choose the one that you've owned for the longest time...

My ex-wife still has my first one, an 81 that I bought in 1999. Does that count as still owning it? She never drives it and only fought for it because she knew how much I loved it. That was July 2000.

I've since bought a 77 in July of 2003 and am in the process of restoring it, starting with the front suspension :smash:

Little did she know, she can take the car from me. but not the passion for corvettes. It was only a matter of time before I got another one.

Life goes on and it couldn't be better! :)

Coming up on 4 years for the Vette, though I've always had some type of Muscle car/sports GT vehicle.
