C3 Owners Share Stories of the Ownership Experience

One of the unique things about C3 owners is that they span a wide variety of ages. You have a lot of younger guys who are new to Corvette ownership, as well as the older crowd who have owned a C3 for decades. So why is this unique to the C3? Well, the C2 has costs that might not be within the budget of the younger generation. And while the C4 might have some owners with an advance number of years, original C3 owners seem to have a higher count.

In a thread dedicated to finding out the age of C3 owners, we get to see some of the cool rides that our members call their own, some of which are highlighted in the gallery below. The stories have all the right key words that you’d expect too. “I bought it when I was 18.” “I’ve had it since 1974.” “I’m only in my 20s, but I bought it last year!” There’s a good mix of survivor cars, as well as incredible restorations and impressive transformations. If you have a C3 story to share, this is the thread for you!
