Still have my C5. Had it out just last week. With the weather starting to change for the better, it will be going to the golf course regularly again very shortly.

Owned a 2003 Z06 for 19 years. No plans on getting rid of it.

Not much into taking pictures these days but I snagged this off the interweb. It's the spitting image of mine (including the CCW SP500 aluminum wheels). Only difference being mine has no stickers on the windshield and it sits lower. Can't even straddle a dead opossum without having to replace my air dam :rofl:

Raazor 02-24-2024 7:54pm

This is back when I wasted money on vehicles. No vette now. Customer purchased the banana from me a while back. Wife now has a 7 year old Chargers and Toyota. Daughter has the 17 year old Lexus. And I drive a new company truck every few years.

Same. Sold my last C6 in 2010.
The C7 and C8 are neither cars that I want.
I’d consider another C6. I’d love a nice C3.

Had a '74 big block coupe, '01 vert, '09 Z06 and a '76, which was the most recent. Sold the '76 about 6 1/2 years ago, just before moving to the shithole state where I now live. :banghead:

Would like to get another C5, C6 Z06 or 427 vert.

Is the top one straight line only, or does it have steering?

LATB 02-24-2024 8:27pm

Kinda wish I had the time and skills to build my own. Because a nice restored C3 is now ridiculously expensive. I see 25 and 30 thousand dollar examples that need 10’s of thousands of dollars of work. Whatdafaq.

I wont do another Corvette. This one is my last.

Yadkin 02-24-2024 8:47pm

I had an '82 for about three years. Detailed the crap out of it, down to the correct type screws. Fixed everything, including the computer that controls the carb and transmission lock-up. De-smogged it. New seat upholstery. Eliminated the fusible links (inaccessible on the road under the car) and replaced them with an underhood fuse panel. Upgraded the headlamps with relays and Hella ECE halogen lamps. Rebuilt the AC to take 134a. New headers and dual exhaust. Did many date nights with it, and many midweek country drives. Bought it for $16k, sold it for $23k.

Headers and exhaust was by far the most expensive, sine I hired the guy. Maybe $1500. New AC compressor and parts amazingly cheap from Rock Auto. A rebuilt computer from AutoZone was $85. I may have had $300 in electrical components. New distributor and spare module (very important to have a GM module in those). Upholstery $500. New T-top seals $150. Another $100 or so on sound deadening material under the driveway-Simple Green and hose- cleaned original carpet. I never bothered to track it all but I may have spent $4000. :D

I have my '70 vert. Might sell it, and put the money towards a C8 because my arthritic knee doesn't like working the clutch anymore.

I don't have a recent pic from the outside, but here is one from earlier in the month from the inside.

Nice! Last GM big block Vette! Keeper!

BayouCountry 02-25-2024 8:15am

Sold the 2012 Grand Sport 5 years ago when I bought the river front property. The gravel road is not a friendly ride for a Corvette.

First Vette was a used black 2009 Z51. Glad I bought it used because I promptly broke the radiator bracket. The Corvette Forum was a great help fixing that fk up.
