  2. I've bought a new vette every 10 years since the 80's and used them as my business vehicle. I've also always had an old one at the same time, kinda like a side girlfriend along with the main squeeze. So here's my junk, all manual trans.

    I did not see one 53 Corvette in the whole thread kind of misleading.

    "1953 to now" includes all years of Corvettes. If that's misleading, then...????

    Me and some buddies at a spring cruise in up in Tri-Cities WA. It poured on cruise night! No matter, Vettes don't rust. Drop the tops and have some fun.

  12. Ron, the middle pic reminds me of ''Lord Mr. Ford'' by Jerry Reed where he says the half a car is a trick to buy.
