I need to get a cover for my 73 and I'd like to get some opinions from people that have bought and used them in the past. So please let me know some pros and cons of what your have used.

I bought one from CSC Sports Inc. on ebay for $59.99 and it's really nice. It's five layers 100% waterproof, fleece lined and comes with an over sized storage bag so it's easy to pack up.

It is not a custom tailored to only fit your specific year Corvette but it is a C3 generic size and fits just fine on my '72. It does not have mirror ears but that's not important to me. It has elastic all the way around the bottom and nylon grommets for a cable lock and has built in straps fore and aft to secure it against the wind.

My primary purpose is for dust cover in my garage but this can't be beat and all the other features are bonuses.

I have a Wolf cover also I think this is the cover that comes close to approximating the Wolf cover. http://www.mamotorworks.com/corvette...-311-8742.html
A good car cover is not cheap I think my Wolfe cover was almost $150 or more.
