I have a 71 conv and just got a 04 commerative conv. The new one is great to drive, all the comfort and fasssssssst. 71 does look better though.

Yup. I've got a 71, and an 02 Z06. Although I'm sad to say I've neglected my C3 a lot in the past couple of years. I just dragged out my shop manual and some books on restoration so I can start getting it ready for summer cruising. That's why I'm browsing the C3 section tonight. I love my C5 like crazy but driving my '71 has some intangible excitement that's totally different from anything the C5 has. I can't wait to start driving it again.

I have a C3 3/4 that is slowly becoming a late C4.
By the way:
C3 - 1968 - 1973
C3 1/4 1974 - 1977
C3 1/2 - 1978/1979.
C3 3/4 - 1980 - 82.
At least that's how I look at it.
