stupid c3 question
i've been looking online at some early C3's (68-72)...this may be a stupid question but why do some have a key hole right above the corvette lettering and others do not? is this a lock of some sort, what exactly is it for?
thanks

that is how you arm/disarm the alarm system. high tech stuff huh? 
ps- If you are looking for a 68-72, my 69 might be going on the selling block...there is a post in the c3 for sale section with tons of pics.

thanks for the info.
definitely not high tech
, but i guess it's good for a buyer because it's easy to see which cars have that option.
i checked out your post in the c3 for sale section and you car is beautiful. I may be interested if you decide to sell....not sure what you're looking to get for it but i have a feeling it may be out of my price range.

mine dont even have the windows...i leave her always open and nobody ever touch nothing. if you leave a car open and with the keys inside a potential thief will think you have a good reason not to fear a robbery
