My Corvette(s): 2001 6 SpdTripleblack/1967 Coupe | How many of you own more than 1 corvette?
What year/model are they?
And...which one is your favorite??
I have two. I recently got my mid-year ( 2+ months ago) so it is still very new to me. I have been spending more time with it than my C-5, but I love them both. They are two different worlds..one is old school muscle and the other high-tech luxury and power!
How about you?
Pedro

My Corvette(s): yellow 1973 coupe L82 4 spd with no power options |
I, personally, have only one Vette (1973 coupe L82 4 speed) but from what I've seen, it's very common for Vette owners to have more than one. Quite often, they'll have one older and one newer, but then you get guys like ChuckG who has three; a C1, a C2 & a C3.
For me, it's a question of economics- I can only afford one at this time. Will that change in the future? Most likely, yes!

My Corvette(s): 1966,2002 & and a 1962 thats almost complete |
I own 2 right now my 1966 and my 2002 and a third one on the way
I love working on my 1966 I love tinkering with it.I love the plant you in the seat power it has.But I dont enjoy driving the car Its not comfortable for me I had more fun building it and collecting parts and information on it.I would sell it and take advantage of the garage space but my wife wont let me sell it.She says its finally done and now she gets to enjoy me not working on it, Also she says I can only sell the car when we our purchasing our new home.Guess what me and her have no plans for a bigger home ( a bigger garage yes)
Historicly I purchase a car rebuild it then sell it for another project.I have owned the 1966 since aug of 2000 so its only the secound collector (besides my 1967 deville convertable)that I have owned so long, normally I build them and drive them a couple of times and get an offer on the car and let them go.In 2001 I got what I thought was an insane offer on the 66 and my wife was present and told the fellow. NO Now I realize she was smarter then me because the values have came up so much on this cars over the last few years
As for the 2002 I absolutely love that car.It is a pleasure to drive and be in with the top down and it has excellent performance Its definatly not a car I can tinker with But a true JOY to drive
the 3rd vette I would like is a 61/62

I currently have 6 vettes, 64 project coupe, 66 red L72 roadster nearing completion, 67 yellow L68 AC roadster, Black 67 L89 coupe, a very out of place yellow 77 L48 coupe, and an 89 coupe updated to look like a 96, with color as of yet undecided.

My Corvette(s): 05 Daytona Sunset Conv. & 02 Electron Blue Conv. |
We have just two...a 1996 Grand Sport convertible and a, new to us, 2002 Electron Blue convertible. Love them both! We just got rid of our '74 convertible which we hated to do but just couldn't justify having three. I know, I know...we're crazy!!

My Corvette(s): 63 L-76 split window coupe, 66 L-79 Coupe |
I currently have three- a '66 coupe 327/350 4-speed; a '71 convertible 350/330 (LT-1) 4-speed; and an '81 coupe 350/190 auto.
If I had a bigger outbuilding I would own more! I also have a '69 Camaro SS 350/300 4-speed. I have owned the '66 two different times for a total of three years. The LT-1 I've owned for ten years. The '81 I picked up last fall. I do much the same as IH2LOSE with a car regularly. It's hard to pick a favorite, though, I like them all!

My Corvette(s): before 60,63&82 now 90 383 Stroker & 91 ZR1-Sold |
Under normal conditions at least 2.
Where do you place me now? I gave my son the 82 and sold the 93.
Does this make me a 1 Vette man?

I only have three at the moment but am actively searching for a 4th ('96 Grand Sport coupe). I have a '66 427/425hp Nassau Blue convertible, '66 327/350hp Mosport Green coupe, and an '02 Electron Blue coupe (I also have a '66 Cutlass convertible and a '73 Olds 442). Tough to say which one I like the most as they are so completely different, probably one of the 66's? (just LOVE them mid years!) | |

Three - you can see what they are to the left. We are wanting a 63-67 convt and maybe a C5 at some point in the future. As you can see, we aren't just partial to vettes either!!
