I bought my 71 2 years ago from a guy who owned it for 25 years. That''s why I bought it. It had almost no rattles and was in great shape. It just needed paint and a rebuild. Now that''s done. He moved on to a 96. I told him he can''t have the car back.

This revived post just blue my mind!

Longtimeowner: 35 years in 1 place, WOW!

Blueshark: Haven''''''''''''''''t forgotten about your invite, will try to follow up someday. Would like to have you put some "Motion Performance" red on the rear of my white car.

blknblu69, Your a true Chevy gear head. Your 69 Vert look great!

73Shark, seems like your 1 of a few with an origional Vette. It''''''''''''''''s great to learn from someone that really has expererance.

C3Starship, were waiting for your next installment. We loved your updates, park to bike and get back to the Vette.

skmcorvette, 12 years of fun, It''''''''''''''''s so gradifing to have strangers compliment us on our Vette''''''''''''''''s even if you just stop for fuel.

z1637ss, Second owner on a 71 Vette, you''''''''''''''''ve got some real value there.

aob1958, Sometimes it takes a while to fullfill our dreams, enjoy your "New" Vette, PG

I bought my 82 Collectors Edition in late 2001. My daughter who was 17 in 1999 when I first started looking for that particular car one day told me that she would have one before I did if I didn''t stop talking about it and just go buy one. Well after a two year search I bought it. In March 2007 I bought a 2004 triple black. My daughter wants a black Vette with pink interior accents. Maybe she can buy mine when I''m ready for a new C6. Probably not however as I can''t see my self ever selling either the 82 or the 04. Just have to put a second lift in my garage I suppose.

. Good luck in retirement - Lot''s more time to drive that beautiful car.

I bought my 74 when i was 16. It was in August 2005 before my senior year in high school started. I had always wanted on a vette then searching ebay i finally found her. I plan to have her forever
