Farewell C3 Guys!
My 71 is sold, I'm freaking bummed out, no more classic Vette, and my garage will never be the same. No more gas fumes on shut down, no occasional oil piddle beneath the bell housing, no more cursing the short seat belt, no more wondrous C3 profile, no more "wows!" from the neighborhood kids, no more hands on maintenance, no more popping the tops for a cool evening drive, and no more 1st and 2nd place trophies. I'll become a C3 section lurker, always regretting the one I let get away. Guys are tired of my screen name superfluous threads always popping up anyway, especially the C5/C6 guys. I lurk, therefore I am!
I'll miss you guys,
Best of luck to Bill and Mary!

Cant go wrong with that. I park next to a Victory Red C6-Z06 all summer long at work. Sometimes I think I'm driving the wrong car when I get out of my C3. The Z is amazing from all angles, including the driver seat!!!

Congrats on the Z06!!! Could be the last of the best..........but yer still gonna miss that primitive C3 once in a while..... the oooos and ahhhhhs, and the curves..... make the oil drips inconsequential.
