I think Corvette owners are some of the most loyal owners in the automotive world and was wondering how many you have owned?

Ever since I was a kid, I was into cars, motorcycles etc. It wasn't until the C5 that I fell in love with the corvette. I was in Destin Florida and saw GM doing a photo shoot for the release of the new Corvette C5. At that moment I said that I had to have one however, I was only about 18 and broke. I finially got my first Vetted, a 2007 Z51 and love it so much. When I took the Museum delivery, I extended my love for the vette. Man I would love to own a 55 with a modern day LS engine under the hood! :cool:

Seriously though....as a teenager, never expected to be in a position to fulfill my dream of ownng a Corvette. Some people are into golf, tennis, hunting, fishing, skiing, etc.
Nope, not here. Spend my play money on Vettes! :)

Two, a 75 T-Top, and my current 2001 Z06.

Now, with all the changes I am making to the 2001, it really is a new car, so I suppose I could have voted 3...

The one I own is my first, but hopefully not the last. Anyway, this '75 coupe is going to stay in the family. There is always room for another 'vette! :D

I just bought my first Vette last April after a 40 year wait. I've had the passion for Vettes ever since my uncle took me for rides in his '60, '64', and '67 Vettes when i was little. So this Vette means alot to me and always will. It's an '81 two tone that was the first color combination to roll off the Bowling Green assembly line. It had only 31k when I got it, and now has a bit over 33k. This is a turn key Vette that was kept in a garage with heat, humidity control, and hepa filers, and is in fantastic shape :). It even still has the original exhaust on it.

Finally I was 59 1/2, retired, kids married and time to make my dream come true - 2007 Monterey red convertible. My neighbor had a new 1957 when I was a kid and it was love at first sight. I was moonstruck. When I saw the 1963 Stingray for the first time I fell deeper in love with the "Vette". Since then I have been a "Vette" man. It's the car that I judged all other cars against- this doesn't seem fair since all others paled in comparison. I have never seena vettethat I didn't like. Last April my wife and I went to the Corvette Museum in Bowling Green - pure heaven! The C5-C6 birthday bash had the parking lot filled to capacity with 5's and 6's, each one nicer than the next. We went to the assembly plant for a tour to see them build the Vette. It was something that all Corvette enthusiasts should see. I wish that I had known about the museum delivery option before I purchased mine. Next time will be a different story. Needless to say, I love my first vette.

I just purchased my first last week. I was a Nissan Z man for many years. This car became available to me and after trying it out, I couldn't help myself. I fell in love with it on the spot. The car is a black 86 coupe, with just 84000miles. The handling is on par with my 300zx, but the torque of the vette is phenomenal. Top end on both cars is about the same, but the vette gets out of the hole so much quicker. I sold the z (91 na 136000), and snapped the vette up before someone else could get it. I plan on keeping this car for many years.

I currently own three. An 'o5 Black on Black convertable, a '96 White coupe, and a Silver '81. Also in the family is a 1967 427cid 390hp coupe with factory air, power windows, ps,pb, powerglide auto, numbers match. A very nice car but could use paint and a windshield seal. Garage kept with only 67,000 miles. The '67 is owned by my mother.

I have owned three but I hope to own two more after today. I bougt a part for my 67 vette this week and included in my part (guage) was a flyer about a corvette giveaway at www.winthevettes.com This children's charity is giving away two 427's - tickets are $3.00 but they're really cheap if you buy more. It's a sweepstakes and the money goes to hospitalized kids confined to hospitals. Unbelievable! You can win both cars tax free. one's a 427 red 67' tripower convert. the other's an 08' Lingenfelter. both red convertibles. check it out.

My story is similar, except I had to wait a long time to get my first one. I loved all three of my Vettes, my only regret being that I did not keep my C5 when I bought my C6 (wish I had them both.)

I still have my first Vette, even though I don't really need it, I can't seem to part with my C4.
All of the time I waited to get my first Vette it just made it sweeter.

We have another car (a 2008 Lincoln MKZ) that is very nice, but it just aint the same as getting behind the wheel of my Vettes. :D

Like a few others here I was retired before owning my first vette a 91 roadster. I now have 2, a 71 Ontario Orange Roadster, and a 96 Collectors Edition LT4. Love them both and wanting a 66 roadster in the future.

I'm 60 and just bought my first Corvette a 1989 Coupe in Black. It has 109k and looks good the seats are in dier need of new covers. I am replacing the automatic transmission because it won't go into overdrive.With those miles I want to replace instead of repairing it. When I was 13 I fell in love with a black 1962 Corvette and it only took 46 years to get my Black Vette a 1989 Vette.;)

I have 3 of them right now (a 79, a 93 and an 06) Every time I buy a new one, I say I'm gonna sell the older ones....But I never can get the heart to do it...So instead...I just keep adding on to my garage space so I can keep storing them ( www.americangarge.com supplied everything I needed further fueling my vette addiction, I went with them cause their page has pictures of Vettes sitting on checkerboard floors)...I figure I have three kids and three vettes....They balance out

My first C3 was a 71 with a 454.About 5 years ago I picked up a 77 to play and tinker with.It squeaks and rattles and the suspension is as hard as a rock,much like all the C3 vetts are,and when I drive it I'm 20 years old again.Remember it is not about how many but about how much you enjoy it.

I've wanted a Corvette ever since I could see over a steering wheel. I bought an '81 new and put 100,000 miles on it in 2 1/2 years.

I just bought (at an auction) an '07 Indy Pace Car with 32 miles on it (not 33,000 miles just 32 miles!

Someone I used to work with once said "If you've ever had a Corvette, you'll get another one". It looks like he was right. I'm looking forward to "miles of smiles".

Happy Motoring

I always loved the '67s...never thought I'd have one...since I've done some resto projects thru the years you never know hmmmm...maybe one day. I currently own a '96 coupe and have really fallen in love. Wasn't sure whether or not I'd like it ,but I'm dead sure now and this one will NOT be my last Vette !!

My 1st an 85 z51 coup I bought a few years ago with 80,000 on it now has 185,000 on it still runs good but the interior and paint ar getting in bad shape.
2nd I just bought New years 97 Black coup only 46,000 on it now has 51,000
Looking at a 2001 Yellow coup if its still for sale when I get my bonus in two months I'll probably be adding #3
Always loved them now that I've had one can't live without them.

Wow, its been a long time. the first was a white on blue 69 4Sp LT1 roadster ,I'll never forget that Vette. 2ND was a red on tan 72 454 4Sp coupe. I recall having a lot of trouble over heating with that one. 3rd was black on black 65 425hp 396 4Sp coupe. Should have kept that one. 4Th a white on blue 73 454 auto coupe. I totally forgot about that one, what a disappointment. 5Th a red on red 87 auto coupe. Nice Vette that really did well on fuel. 6Th, Guess I voted wrong, only voted 5. Oh well, number 6 I still own, the polo green on tan 95 LT1 6Sp roadster.

A whole life time of Corvettes that if I still owned today along with some of the other cars from my past, I could retire very well from.

Take care, thanks for bringing back so many fond memories.

Got my first Vette after the army in 1968, it was a 1965 two-top convertible. Drove it seven years and two hundred thousand miles. Then had to sell it (divorce). Next I left the fold and drove a VW Thing, Mercedes 450 SL before going back to the Corvette.
My next Corvette was a 1959 (Red with white insert), a 1969 Blue two-top convertible and another 1959 basket case. Had to sell all those to pay off a 15.5% house loan. In 1990 I ordered a 1991 red convertible (both tops) and still have it. In 1999 I retired and bought a 1965 silver coupe to keep things interesting. In 2005 I ordered a 2006 and drove out it out route 66. When I returned, I sold it to Carmax, cost me $750 to drive it 10,000 miles. What a ride. Love Corvettes.
