Corvette Numbers
With all the numbers involved with our hobby has anyone compiled numbers of C3's still on the road? we have corvette salvage yards and fellow members parting out vettes.. has anybody taken the time to compile a rough database of C3's that have been put to rest? wonder how many parted out vettes our forum members have put to sleep....

there's a C3 registry, but, i doubt there is any real way to even get a good guess unless you could get to all the state DMV departments and see if they would part with their number. based on that, i;m guessing the answer is there is no way to really tell.

OK maybe I'm missing something but the OP said rough database. I've parted several cars , so those are dead and will never be revived. Add those to others that have been parted and I would think a "rough" idea could be formed. Right ?

We could speculate 25% of them are gone, but without actual data, we would all be guessing.

probably computer literacy is a major roadblock.. the C3 registry is only a minor start.. looks like less than 1%.. most c3 owners have never heard of the C3 registry.
the ability to get past privacy laws and seek out the DMV databases is the biggest stopper.. it just ain't happening.

In summer time, I often ask myself "Why is that frisbee getting bigger?" Then, it hits me. Often in the face.
This may not make sense at first. But, if you sit down and take the time to sift through my posts to clearly understand their underlying meaning, within just a few minutes, you'll realize you've wasted your time.
That is all for now. More later.
