I purchased my 1969 convertible on March 15, 1974. I was 23 years old at the time.I traded my 1970 Monte Carloon it. My parents thought I was crazy to go down a year, and buy a two seat sports car. Still have it. Still love it!

1974Corvetteowner, Lucky You! Great to be young!

PAYTOPLAY, You too, great to be young!

Watwheel, "Look honey, he spent more than me!" she said "Your both nuts"!

C3Starship, fastback and foward too!

Blueshark, "Not Much" how dare you, It's a Vette, ain't it?

Longtimeowner, My parents new I was nuts, they said buying a Vette just proves it!

Me, a 66 vert in 74, first 74 in 77 and this 74 in 2000. Tomorrow I get my 63 B C, PG.
