Featured Who has had their Vette the longest?

[Blu427]

Being a new member I didn't know if this had been discussed before. I bought both my Vettes new and still have them.
The 2001 conv technically was used with 34 KM on it. Thats 34 with no zeros. A guy won it at the Brantford Casino and
didn't want it. Traded it back to the dealer for cash and a 5 year old pickup. I happened to be talking to the dealership owner
who was telling me the story and offered it at a very much reduced price. Millennium Yellow, black top, has 35000 KM now.
The 2006 Zo6 I got in '06 and will keep until one of two things happen, I die or I can find and afford a C8 ME. It's Lemans Blue
with 12000 KM on it.

So I've had the 2001 for 18 years and the 2006 for 12 1/2 years.
How long have you had yours?

My ‘75 Coupe has been cared for by me for 37 years.
(edit). I have put 120,00 MILES on the car since purchase in 1982.
In my local Vette Club there are 3 friends that have had their Vetts longer!

....I hardly qualify to post but my 93 for 6 months, my 82 4 1/2 years.

I bought my 2005 in 2011 from its second owner and it had 48,000 km. I now have 142,000 enjoyable km logged and not stopping! The best smiles per mile of any car I’ve ever owned!

 

[Black 03 Z06]

Had my 2003 since November of that year. So I guess that is pretty close to 16 years.

I bought my 65 in 1982 as a basket case in 1,000,000 pieces, more or less. I have only driven it a couple of times before I tore it down for the second time to rebuild it. Not finished yet.

I'm in there with Xfire and Rocky... Corvette virgins in comparison with some...
Bought my first Vette in 2011. A C6 coupe. Bought from original owner in Calgary with 27,000 k. In 2015, after 13,000 k full of smiles later I traded it on my current ride, a 2015 Stingray.

We bought our 2005 in 2012 with 21,440 km on the odometer. Just over 108,000 km on it now. The guy that we bought it from used Q-tips to clean the engine.

We had it out yesterday for the second time this 2018 season. Before this car, we sold our 1969 Chevelle that I bought new. Lots of other cars along the way.

I bought my Corvette in 1987, drive in the summer, tinker and deep clean in the winter. As they say time flies when you're having fun! Although the car was still in pretty good shape, I decided to restore it on its 50th birthday in 2017 and return it to its original colour.
My first car was a 67 Firebird that I bought in 1977 which I also still have, 42 years. Seems like I have a hard time parting with things. My wife claims a couple of my T-shirts are over 50 years old....

 

[CorvetteRon]

Oh.......oh...........I'm old, I bought my 1976 new, and am still driving it.

 

[taylorsk8]

Well although not driving it right now I guess i still own it! I bought my '73 in 2006 so I guess this is about 12-13 years. Doesn't seem like that long but I did drive it for the first 6 years before the tear down began.

Me too even though I have had my Corvette longer
than she has had hers -
and giving me the stink-eye every time I get near it
and saying I have my own.
Some things are still not "ours" even after 31 years.

 

[Bo Doodley]

I've had my 2019 for 9 months - but I have always owned a Corvette since 1965.

Still a learning curve.
