Is there a C3 only magazine?
I am looking for a good Corvette magazine to subscribe to and was wondering if there was one dedicated only to C3's.
If not what is the best magazine for C3 articles?
I have seen Corvette Fever and Corvette Magazine but I am not too impressed with the amount of C3 articles.

There was one called The Shark Quartley. It died do to lack of support. I think the best mag out there now is Corvette Enthusiast.

We should make our own C3 CorvetteForum.com magazine with support of the vendors.

How about:
Classic Corvette Magazine ©
An it could deal with C1 through C3. The extra 2 generations might bring in enough audience to sell advertisers. Go after mod, maintenance, and restoration. My vote is for lots of hands on, nut wrenching stuff.

I don't think the C3 crowd has time to read magazines, they are too busy reading Hayne's and Chilton's. 
Seriously though, I would love to find a C3 exclusive mag.

Sounds good to me. I would love to see a C3 only magazine. I remember Shark Quarterly and only got one or two issues before it went away. As a matter of fact I believe it was published in Canada. Could be wrong about that though.

Corvette Fever
Just recieved the May issue of Corvette Fever and really was impressed. There's an ongoing article on a shark resto (part 7 now). They detailed a C3 engine compt. Paint repair on a C3 rear quarter. Priced out a original/stock engine rebuild and comparision to rebuild a aluminum head L98 upgrade for stroke to 383 & swap in or GM crate ZZ4. 
They painted a C4 but the fiberglass prep was the same. Also had a C2 pair with ZZ4 implants run-off at the drag strip. They list monthly auction prices for all years too. 
Nice article on portable wide band air-fuel monitor too - a little shallow on tuning and no pirces but still very imformative.
I guess what i'm saying is i really like it myself and for only $20 a year have maintained the subscibtion for over 5 years now and kept every issue.

I was just complaining to my wife yesterday that the last two issues of "VETTE MAGAZINE" had a grand total of ZERO C-3 articles! CORVETTE FEVER tends to have more C-3 stuff than any of the others.
