I hate to admit this, but I bought a '63 Corvette split window coupe when I got out of the army. It was a sweet ride, but I got caught up in the hype about the new Stingray in 1968 and traded in the 63. I wasn't happy with the performance of the 350 engine, so traded that Stingray for the new '69 427 convertible with factory sidepipes. When I got married I sold the Vette and bought a family sedan. I've kicked myself so many times over the years for getting rid of the 63 & 69 that I dislocated my right knee.
