Hot Rods Old Vette owners stand up and be recognized

There seems to be a lot of interest in corvettes on this site lately. If you currently own one post pics please.
Here’s mine. Dad bought it in ‘62, he passed it on to me a few years ago. It’s my fourth one.

 

It’s been reworked since Dad had it tho

 

Do you want the Vettes to be old or the owners to be old?

 

I've always liked the front end of the single headlight Vette, and the tail end of the 61-62 Vette. I'd love to see someone put them together and see what the results would be.

Your paint is great. But I'm lazy. Way too much maintenance for me...

 

Calling @lumpy 63
Heres our own behind the scenes rock star Colin aka lumpy 63’s 59

 

They should both be old

 

It’s a bit much for me too. Beaters are way more fun

 

Mark, what is the story with your oh shit bar?

 

yooooo that is fire

 

It looks like it was cast around the brackets

 

Colin claims his has actually been used by by scared passengers so he should make one from angle iron

 

Me too!

 

My wife wont ride in it anymore..... I only rolled on the throttle in 2nd gear

 

Mine will only ride in the 57 maybe twice a summer and it’s fairly mild

 

Unfortunately I don’t have any pictures, but Dad had a 1963 Split Window Coupe. He sold it in 1980 or 81, but I remember riding in it. 327/340, 4 speed. Corvettes are cool, but the only one I’ve ever wanted was a 63 Split Window, I don’t care about numbers matching or what transmission is in it. One day…….

 

Got bitten in 1971, never recovered. Here was my first Vette, and current car. Have owned many series
and always return to the C1 series....

 

I've had a lot of early Corvettes in my day but this one is my favorite.

 

Mine's still in the "some assembly required" stage...

 

Here’s a pic of my buddies 64 back from the body shop sitting beside my 53 Chrysler and 69 Lincoln

the vette was a burn victim when he got it the roof was pretty much melted into the passenger compartment.
Body shop nailed it and after that Joe went the stereotypical vette numbers matching resto route .

 

Don't have pics of all them, started with a modified '60 in '68. Had a few shark vettes too, early ones, big blocks.

 

OH OH OH...I'm a member of the club too! Though, mine is still a project in waiting...and if I'm being totally honest it's currently acting more the part of a "shelf" or "rack"...if you wince into the far corner, peaking out from under the pile of junk, you can almost see the someday dream (in my mind, I can hear it running )...sorry about the OT stuff that share the space.

 

Y’all wrecked those valuable old cars….

 

It’s just well padded

 

First one, and present wreck...

 

Good to see some of the old Vettes. I agree with Moriarty on the C1 stuff. I call them solid axles (the only Corvette club I belong to is the Solid Axle Corvette Club and there is a good mix of stock and modified). The photo of my black car is at the Pie Crust drags a few years ago. I bought this car in 1977 with a 350 that someone put a window in. I replaced it with a new 327/365 from the local Chevrolet dealer. My red car I bought in sad shape in 1982 and it was an old drag car out of New Mexico. Here is the latest picture of the car I suppose. It was at an airport show last fall. The red 59 and black 57 are owned by guys in my car club. The black 57 has a 409 that fits under the stock hood. The 59 is a 355 I believe and my red 62 has a 427. Good memories with these cars.
