Default A c3 surprise

While working with one of my reps with a new account, we drove by a building with 12 c3 vetted in the yard. Of course we stopped, and I almost crapped me pants. There were 89 c3 corvettes for sale. Big block, lt1's, Crome and rubber bumper cars. These cars were all in top condition either restored or originals in perfect condition. The owner only deals in c3's. he said that the 1's and 2's are way too $ and the 4's and 5's are declining in value too fast. I asked him if he uses this forum, and he said no, he hates it. Oh yea, the dealer is located in Roaring Springs Pennsylvania. Anybody know of this guy? I wish I had a day to check it out, but we had only 1/2 hour. Great spot.

I`m thinking it`s not CF so much as just computers in general, especially if he has no website. That`s how we found our 71.... advertized by the neighbor because the seller didn`t have, or want, a computer!

This car looks amazing.


Then I saw the shark with a frickin' laser beam attached to it's head! Dr. Evil would be proud.
