Dual Personality now.
Oh Crap.
Bought a one owner, zero miles on original title, 65K on odo, All original documents from dealer at purchase new, 1974 White Coupe, 350 4spd. 99% there and ORIGINAL.
NUMBERS MATCHING Engine and Transmission.
White with Tan interior (which looks to be absolutely complete).
Yes, needs a LOT of TLC.
Been in a garage for 20 years.
I'm in PIG HEAVEN....
But now I'll be divided between C5 and C3 worlds.
Gawd Help me. LOL

After a summer with my c3; I really don't care much for the c5.
One has personality in spades. The other performance.
However for just cruising and using for leasure; it's really hard to beat the '69 ragtop. 10 fold for curb appeal and attention...hard to get gas in it.

The 69 convertibles started my love for vettes when I was a little kid. Still a beautiful design today. It's timeless. The chrome bumper c3's are really climbing in value. I wouldn't be surprised to see the nice ones at c1 prices in a few years.

Congratulations on the new C3!
I also have both and they couldn't be more different cars. The C3's just look awesome. They have style and are fun to drive around the back roads or take to a cruise night. After driving a C5, the C3 will feel slow and make you hear every rattle and creek in the C3. The C5 is a performer. Car is incredibly capable and fast. I think they are cool, but to most its a dime a dozen ordinary car.

Cool beans! A new project is always exciting. My problem is I love most of 'em. One of my true regret sales was a beautiful fully optioned out Ontario Orange '71 4spd 454. Got stupid and wanted to buy another house, should have kept the vette and forgot about the house! Now that I think about it the ex got the house anyway() and I was out my C3. Oh well! Anyway good luck with your new toy!

Congrats on the '74.
Here's my 1974 White 350 L48 4spd Coupe.
This was my first Corvette. I bought it 6/21/78. The above photo was taken just before I sold it in 2002.
