Well first off, I didnt buy a chrome bumper vert. When I was looking for my first C3 about three years ago, chrome bumper cars were out of the question. They still kinda are. I can afford to have two C3s because Im parting one of them out lol. Thanks for the compliments guys

I actually trailered it home from Arlington this past friday night.
Yeah, the rear was hit by a tree, and the front clip has been bubba'd to no extent. THEY TRIED TO REPAIR THE FENDER WITH A METAL PLATE...Ill post pics of it later

You sure have a knack for finding C3's. Its ashame it has to go to the graveyard but it sure will help others keep theirs alive. You were close to my neighborhood when you were in Arlington.

You should see the damage this car has. I was debating on just fixing it up and selling it, but the deeper that i got into it, the worse the body is. Sadly its nothing but a parts car, but most of it will live on

Looks nice, shame it had that damage and is now getting parted out. At least parts will live through others. Nice to see another young Vette guy and in Texas, I'm 24 and am on my 2nd Vette now. I also have like 20 something other cars ranging from parts, project, to drivers. Are there many other young Vette owners in your group over towards Dallas?
