Default My 53rd and the 'vettes 35th BD today!

That says it all, my car's build date was July 14, 1969, which was my 18th birthday. I wanted a Corvette convertible for my birthday, but unfortunately I couldn't arrange for the funding at 18. So when I went looking for a 1969 'vette and found this one, I knew it was built for me! It just took me 32 years to find it!

Happy Birthday! It took me a bit longer to find the 1967. I won't say anything more except it had something to do with Freedom 55. Oops!

Default Old Farts Corvette Thread.

Is this a thread for old farts who drive old corvettes?
I met an old man today driving a 2000 yellow C5 6spd who claimed to be 87 yrs old! For real!

Golfer's elbow is one of the nasty aspects of my semi-retired status .

Man, that's impressive Steve. Even your mother doesn't look like she's 53. It must be something in the water in Victoria! Congrats on the BD.
