Part of the fun and mystique of owning collector cars whether they are muscle cars, sports cars, hot rods or rat rods are the stories behind them. The stories about how they were acquired, about the breakdowns, about the special trips and especially about the people encountered along the way. The Mission of our site is about helping you make your car a Legend.

2001 Chevrolet Corvette ZO6

2001 ZO6, What collection is complete without a Corvette. My first Corvette was a little red 62 with a 327 and 3 speed. I was in college and it was a well used car. I loved it and thought it was the fastest thing on the road. It was certainly the fastest car I had ever driven. But wait, I really hadn’t driven much at that time.

Well, time has changed. Today, Corvettes may still be classified as sports cars but they are also certainly a muscle car! Arguably, ZO6 maybe the best Corvette of its day. The 2001 was the first C-5 Corvette ZO6.

We bought this car new on July 4, 2001 and have put nearly 50,000 miles on it since. Every mile came with a smile on my face; 85 mph at 28 mpg, wow! This car is the best high performance car suitable for everyday driving I have ever owned. The ordinary Corvette is better suited for the average owner but if raw horsepower never gets old for you, the ZO6 is worth the step up.

I have promised myself I will never drive a new ZO6 or ZL1; I know if I do I will be down at the dealer with a pen in my hand and that would not be good.
