JohnU Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Post a photo of your first Corvette. Extra points for pictures with you in it! Mine was a '70, a true 5 footer, until the paint started crazing on the door tops. It was a textbook example why it's better to buy the best you can find vs one needing a little of this and that. It was 8 years old but had previously been winter driven (Michigan) which facilitated a cutting torch to change the non working air shocks on the rear. I did my first....... and last engine rebuild on this one. Of course I loved it and the passage of time lessens the "warts" and embellishes the rest. I sold it, funded an IRA and bought a new Yamaha motorcycle. A few years later I went into Vette withdrawal and took the cure and have been fine ever sense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie44 Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 2002 C5 that I bought at LouGrubb on I-17 and Camelback. I bought it in mid 2003 with 65 mi on the odometer. GM had shipped it to Glendale Community College where it sat for over a year and was used as a training aid for their GM training done there. I owned it for 2+ yrs until I was t-boned and the entire drivers side was replaced. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottcolbath Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 The pic is from day I brought my first (and only, so far) one home, just over three years ago. I needed a car, and wasn't even considering a Corvette. I was looking at basic two door vehicles and had a budget of $25K. That doesn't get you much in the new car market. I spotted a 2002 C5 convertible on the Ford lot in north Scottsdale. I took it for a spin and liked it. We could not come close to a deal. They actually wanted to add on a $1,200 fee for "de-germing" the car. They would not budge on the $22K price (Started as $18,500 on the window, before all the bullshit they added on). So I walked. But I knew now that I wanted a Vette. About a month later, I found my FRC in Yuma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
