Better sell the Vette or The Chief will label you.

I found my one owner Firebird 400 literally in a barn, was there for thirty years. Thought it was once in a lifetime till today. Found a 77 Camaro LT one owner with the original tires still on it. I know it’s not a highly desirable one but my grandson has wanted just this year for awhile now. Means as much or more to me than the Firebird because it’s his dream!

They are still out there. Not quite as prevalent as they once were but still out there.

My C6 Corvette convertible, I bought brand new in 2006 from Kerbeck in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Prior to that, I had absolutely no desire to own one. What tipped the scales for me, was going with my friend to pick up his museum delivery Corvette in Bowling Green, Kentucky. I helped drive the car back to NY. I was very impressed with it. Rode nicely. Handled well. Brakes were outstanding. Had 400 horsepower. Twenty five miles to the gallon. Rated at 186 mph. Fully loaded. Just a nice car. I had recently retired so it was a gift from me to me. Very expensive but it was once in a lift time. No regrets at all. I have absolutely no desire to buy another one. Mine only has 16,000 miles on it. Always garaged and well kept. I don't drive it as much as I should. Hopefully, this year will be different. As life winds down, I'm going to keep this car to the very end or until my wife or myself can't get in and out of it any longer.
BTW, I know those 85% of Corvette owners mentioned in another thread. They are as described. Other then Corvette ownership, I have nothing in common with them and try to avoid them. I don't share their attitude or approach. Also, if you've never been to a GM car plant, try and go. I got the group tour and then the VIP tour because of the museum delivery in Bowling Green.. Totally impressed with the way cars are built. Remarkable watching the assembly line. I could have easily spent a few days there. Fascinating. I know what I've owned and collected over the years might indicate something different, but my first love has always been Pontiacs. Namely the GTO, Carmine.
