Your going to hate me .The first Corvette was a 67 BB vert .I can still smell the newness ,I can still feel the bulk of the engine and how it shifted .I was a magnificent machine that I will always remember .The car was actually loaned to me for a weekend by a neighbor I was 19 and had a hot date .The only issue was the car had been stolen from a new car dealer .(I didn't know)
My first bought was a 69 350 vert and I drove it for almost 250,000 km .I've owned an 87,03 and an 08 all manuals ,all verts.
I'm old enough that the C7 will be my last.
