As a Vette lover I have to say that your collection is effing SWEEEEEEEET.
I love the 72 Vert, and the Z06 is magnificent.
Quick Story...:
when I went to buy my first Vette, the 79 L82, I was actually going to buy a '71 Vert that the guy had as well... I got caught in traffic coming outta Baltimore to get to Bethesda, MD... causing me to show up about 1hr late. The guy was an OLD guy about 75 or so who was seemingly on his death bead. He was walking around with an oxygen tank U kno?
Anyway... I look over and a guy is wheeling out with a C3 Vette Convertible on his flat-bed truck...
So I say.. to the old guy.. "is that the 71 Vette U had in the "Trader?"
He replies.. " Yeah.. the guy offered me exactly wanted I asked.. and he was ON TIME. But I'll tell U what.. I got a '79 sitting over there... The paint is shit... the interior is a mess, needs a new exhaust, and I recommend U rebuild the engine."
I bought it.. restored it, and loved her from 1994-2002 when I sold her and my 1995 LT1 and bought my 1998 C5, which I then got rid of and got a 2000.
