I'm still trying to figure out how they got those 3 Corvettes up to the moon!!?? And, why didn't those astronauts need spacesuits?

I believe Nick Cage and Matthew McConaughey owned C3's at one time. Maybe still do. Seems Mr. Cage was forced to sell his to pay off a debt.

Many think the stroke was caused by being beaned by that baseball.
My favorite player. I still wear a #25 Red Sox jersey, only Bobby V is wearing it this year as a TC tribute.

I never could make the connection between Hamilton hitting him in 1967 and a stroke 15 years later, but I don't even play a Doctor on TV.

Loved his Corvettes and his women.

In the 70's ....I remeber seeing a picture of "Joe Perry" of Aerosmith standing next to his C3 Stingray in Circus raves Mag.. He may still have vettes.

Jeff Beck may have had a corvette too.

Can't remeber his name , but the old Portland Trailblazers NBA coach had a C3 , he was in corvette news mag in the 70's

I suppose a car that was owned by a celebrity is cost more because of that fact?

Not that i could care less if i bought a car pre owned by a farmer or a moviestar

Oh boy, I just spat Cranberry Juice out of my nose. Astro Ventilation, oh yeah. I knew it was good for something.
