Default Good Bye C3 hello C2

Well my fellow C3ers it time to say good-bye. We just bought a restored 63 Vert this weekend. Thanks to everyone who helped make the 75 what it is today. Off to new adventures

If you know of anyone looking for a first rate 1975 Vette PM me. Thanks again for all your help.

You will enjoy the C2 very much. The 1963 is akin to the 1968 in that there are a number of parts that are unique to that model year. But that's part of the fun and challenge.

I sold my 1979 in 2003 shortly after I purchased a 1967 but it remains in the family. Here's a pic of the two from last summer. I rather miss the 1979 but to keep two Corvettes was a bit of a stretch for me. Get those old drum brake tools out of the back of the garage....Have fun this summer!

Congrats on your new ride. I love the 63's and personally think that the splitter is coolest car ever.
