Default Post The Best Modded C3s!

Hi guys, my name is Alex. I normally just post out of the C5 section since that it the gen I have. However I am a real Vette enthusiast and as such, appreciate all the years. I love the lines of the C3, and I would say that gen is the most characterized looking model next to the C2s(my personal favorite). I also love modded cars. So as such I would like to see pics of your modded and C3s. Lowered, aftermarket wheels, engine mods etc

-Alex

Here's an engine mod that you will probably recognize.

The "Best Modded C3's" is a very subjective term. There are so many great cars on this forum. Each has their own definition of modded and best. I like them all!!!

Simply Stunning! When this car was for sale recently I just could not understand the asking price (having never seen it in person or the above photo's). Well, all my questions have been answered! I am not big on mod's...but this car can sit in my garage anytime, anyday!

I'll say it again...Simply Stunning!!!!!!!!!! This car.... is in my opinion, not a modded car per say....it is a work of art!

Stay in tune....

Here is my '75 that I am just finishing. It was stolen, trashed and recovered in 1991. Sat out in the weather in Miami until 2006. It's almost finished!

Heres my 78, mods are very minor from the outside (with the exception of the rear cap) internal mods are more extensive.
