Default Bloomington Gold photo

Hey everyone !

I am normally on the C4 group, but wanted to share what I think is a great photo from Bloomington Gold on Friday. As a former owner of a 75, I still can't help loving the lines of the C3's.

I posted many photo's of all years vette on my clubs website if anyone wants to see some GREAT Corvettes ALL years. Here is the link to them, http://StarvedRockCorvettes.com/recent.htm

Here is a nice group of C3's waiting for certification at BG, hope you all enjoy them.

I too was there Friday. Good event. Have never seen this many Corvettes gathered at one time. Many good representatives of all models.
Where did all the C2 and C3 Big Blocks come from?
For the amount of time I spent in the watching the auction, I tought the prices were low. Some really good deals.

Good photos.

Thanks, and I agree with the prices being VERY low. The first car sold was a 74 with 98k on the clock - sold for $3900.00, this was not shown on TV either.

I saw this car go across and I too was shocked at the low prices of some of these cars.

I think the owner bought back his own car as there was no reserve on this car if I remember correctly.

The next car was a silver '59, very driver quality that sold for $26.5. I believe. The seller was sitting next to me, in the second row. H e was losing his mind.

Early sales were very poor, there were some OK ones later and on Sat. Great buy on a pretty grey '72 roadster for $22.5.
