    2015 Corvette

    I was at the Palm Beach Barrett Jacskon auction last week, and saw 2015 VIN001 sell for $1,000,000!

    I brought home a couple of goodies at a far lesser price. I'm on a plane right now, so can't post pics. Carl?

    Yep, I've still got the pic on my phone. Ken bought a 69' retromod Camaro with a big block. We need to start a special YF fund for his gas bills!

    Here's a 62 Corvette I owned for a few years. I think this is one of the only photos I have of it. This photo was taken in Montreal Canada back when the mini-skirt was all the rage. My friend jumped out of the car to talk with this young lady, then snapped the photo of her with me and the car in the background.

    Not long after that we were on our way back down to DC and stopped by a party in NY. Car was stolen that night, and all I got back was a piece of junk that had been stripped and then hammered up :eek::(

    I think corvettes cause old age and male pattern baldness because every time a see a new corvette there is an old bald guy driving it.

    just saying....

    What i dont get is why almost every vette driver is driving below the speed limit!! Are they afraid the fiberglass is going to delaminate? :)

    Never did buy the Corvette; still have the "in the meantime" car.

    Still garaged - some concern that the G60-15 PolyGlass may delaminate. :D

    Speed limit, control freaks thingie - 55 mph: Ticket = 72 mph in second gear.

    Why garaged?

    Car and I still alive, license, too.

    What about:

    1973 Porsche 914-6, not original off course since they only made them in 1970 through 1972. This one is an SCCA GT-2 class car and club racer. At under 2,000 lbs. and a 3.2L with weber 46's it is a blast.

    Other standby projects include a 1973 911T Coupe and an unrestored original paint 1976 Porsche 914-4 with 76K original miles.

    Go ahead and chuckle. It's not really exotic but it is somewhat unique. My summer driver.

    1972 AMC Gremlin powered by an AMC 401/425hp.

    Maybe I'm in the minority, but if I had the means I could never buy an E-type convertible. I'd take the coupé over the ragtop in a heartbeat.

    I ve always felt most coupes look better than the roadsters, to me it s like the roadster is missing something, which is why both my e-type or XKR are/were coupes. (Sold the 2000 XKR a few years ago, the 72 E is currently undergoing restoration including converting to enclosed headlights and switch to the darker gun metal color)

    In South Florida you have to be 55 years old or older to drive a corvette for some reason. You never ever see young people driving them.

    It's supposed to do that. It's the New James Bond feature that the car self destructs so the wrong people cannot inspect it's gadgets!
