The old man had one, he traded it in two years later for....me.

I really love seeing these period pictures with Corvettes.

What a heck of a car it was. You can see it on the posture and expression of the owner/driver!

Sweeeeeet car, Wayner. Get that thing fixed up and hit Route 66.

Clock says 20,k Miles.

no wear on seats or pedals:eek:

Who knows if its accurate, but it was on display for 20 years before being "rescued" and paint stripped for restoration.

No pic love for the Corvette??:(

Too many generations/versions to choose that would all be good fun when it comes to the 'Vette.

Since I have the Z06 with a fixed roof, 'Vette number two would be a removable top variant. But could be C5, C6 grandsport, C7, etc...

With the Jaguar it would be a X100.

I went X150, C5 Z06, so next would be a X100.

I also don't have anything Japanese, when the R33 GTR is legal, hmmm....

ahhh. I read it as you were in possession of a Corvette and were thinking of a second. Sorry. Carry on!

edit: Forget it. C5 Z06 in your possession! Still need a pic and definitely some sleep and it's only Monday. Also, am still all hot bothered by a LS7 Z06/Z07.

Oh my!!!

My fav all time Corvette year. I love that rear design.
When I was a HS sophomore ('61) I had a senior buddy (football team mate) who was dumped by some hot babe. She once told him that she loved the new Corvettes...especially the Honduras Maroon exterior with Fawn interior. He wanted that same set up...thinking that he'd impress her into coming back.
Well, his family (farmers who always bought Chevy trucks) was in with the local Chevy dealership and he had a salesmen friend look high and low nationwide for a used or new '61 with those colors.
One was found - stick shift, 327 - and was delivered. I recall somewhere around $5k.
Long story short...she wouldn't pay much attention to him other than to compliment his Corvette.
His affection for the hot babe turned to infatuation for his new rig.
He often came by to pick me up and we'd ride around. I loved that car...never drove it, however.
My all time fav Corvette year!!!

Congrats, Wayner!!!

The great thing about Millennium Yellow, the car is covered in bits of trees, leaves, droppings, pollen, burnt rubber, etc, and it still looks like this. :)

I really do not understand the online "hate" for the C5's interior, fantastically styled. I did replace the factory seats, and will likely go to a three spoke Sparco steering wheel.

After carefull look at everything on the aftermarket, the only body modifications I might do would be a rear spoiler. I also want to remove the badge just behind the trunk on top of the rear deck.

Looks like a great car and a great time!!SmileWavy

That is a really bad idea...

That I wish I had made...

Truly awesome car (and I feel the word awesome is horribly overused)

Unfortunately (or fortunately) I don't have the time/space/$$ to acquire multiple vehicles. There was a extremely cool Studebaker 4 door sedan for sale locally (I'm not a huge Studebaker fan but it looked like so much fun).

However I did just purchase three spoons. ;)

Wayner, what color is the finished car going to be?

For that period I'm partial to red, white, or black.

Blue or pastel yellow would be an off the beaten path choice, but the right one would be sharp.

I had all sorts of responses prepared as I read your post over and over

But the most appropriate one seems to be simply “thanks Don!”

(And don’t worry, I’m keeping it I my no girls allowed back in compound )

The cove will be white or silver
The main colour will be red or black ( I’m partial to black but the car was originally red and has an interesting history)

I'm a fool for yellow cars.
Motion posted a pic of his Ferrari in yellow a long while back and fellow Pelicans puked.
Not me.

Oops, I did it again...

(It’s got some yellow on it. I’m blaming you Don Ro...)

I see no problem, in fact I see room for more cars. Now I need more space!

Nice Mogs!

(Now I need one of those to park a motorcycle in ) ;)

I saw your thread over on the R1100S forum. I'll take the blame as long as it's trouble free for you. Happy that you bought it.
Ride safely!!!

Yeah, I like yellow.
