Just curious..how many Vettes have you owned? How many do you have now.

I've had 7 starting with a new '84 Coupe, then bought a used '78 Indy Pace Car, sold it for a used '94 ZR1. Next car was a new '99 Navy Blue convertible, then a new 2000 Yellow convertible. Next was a new 2001 Red Z06, sold that one for a new 2002 Electron Blue Z06. Currently waiting for a Silver/Ebony C6!

Btw,daily dirver is a 2004 GMC Envoy 4x4.

My first was a 1978 Silver Anniversary, next 1985,1993,1998,and the 2001 that I am trading for my 2005 which should be built this week, so that will make 6.

Just the one you see.........Soon will be second with C-6!

Just one. 1975 Coupe, White. L48. Once I've paid for the rest of life I will be buying another. Might be a C7 by then though.

Just one so far. But i've had it for over 11 years.

My first Corvette was an 89 Artic White Coupe with red interior that I took on a dream Route 66 trip in September 02. I had it 16 years until technology advances said I should go for my second dream car this past February. On order is a Victory Red on red C6 coupe that always seems to have a constraint when my dealer's allocation comes up. Now I'm hoping for a nice Christmas present.

I have had 6. 1961, two 1967s, 1985, 1987 and 2005. I wish I still had them all! But the C6 is without a doubt, the best vette yet!

I have been away from the site for some time and actually thought I had commented on this.
I bought my red 66-390 vert in 1970 so it is part of the family. I was to the 20th reunion of the 66's at Bowling Green and the 25th at Bloomington.(Driven ,of course.)
I bought my project silver 66-425 coupe in 1979 and sold it in May 2005. All I was able to do to it was strip the paint and gather some parts. The new owners are excited and are hot on the rebuild.
I planned my 84 seven years before it was built when I read in Vette Vues that a new model was coming in 1983. It is white with light gray and is up to 29K miles. About ready to replace the original tires. It has been to Bowling Green for the Opening and 5th Anniversaries. The rest of the miles have been to shows and events. The only problems were a poorly installed transmission gasket, collapsed lifter at 1200 miles, and having to re-oil the compressor before each 16,000 miles. (Learned this from others so it hasn't siezed up for me.)
Plan to order an 08 for a retirement present. Will be doing the R8C option. I have been to the factory enough times that I could maybe give tours. I really enjoy those workers and the work they do. Ernest Foote's name is on my autograph model as well as about 50 other people that have contributed to the Corvette or hobby.
Slow day or I wouldn't have rambled on like this.

I am on my fifth !!
Gotta love it !!

I am on my third. I bought a 1960 convertible in May of 1962. It eventially morphed into a 327 fuelie with 30/30 Duntov and wide ratio 4 speed. I sold it in 1967 and ordered a 1968 427/435. The order was cancelled and I wrote a letter to Ed Cole complaining about their big dealer favorites. I included the Corvette owner card from the 1960 and they reinstated the order. I got the '68 in May and quality control was really pathetic. GM and the UAW could sell every one they made so they just threw them together. It went in '72 before our first was born.
32 years later...
I got the C6 A6 last October at the museum. It was done right with care.

Curt Franz LeMans Blue Coupe born on Sept 15th, 2005

I'm on numbers 3 and 4 right now!
I had a '72 convertible in high school(1975/6), and a '72 street/drag car in the late '70s/early '80s.

I now have a '74 coupe, and an '85 coupe...all are/were RED, except the first '72, which was Ontario Orange.

I'm sure there are more to come, somewhere down the line. Once you get Corvette in your blood, nothing else compares.
