The 82 collectors edition was a beautiful car. I would loose the graphics though. But to say that by that time the c-3 overstayedit welcome by 5 years is stupid since the last few years saw more vetted sold than ever.

I'm surprised they didn't beat on the 68-69 427/435's. Most of them took a bunch of work to keep them running like they should- spark plugs, carb problems, won't idle and on and on. The L-89's would backfire on a cold start and the center carb power valve was toast. And you have to pull all 3 to get the center.

I read this awhile back. Two things struck me:
1. The author was not only full of himself, trying to out-do each paragraph with more florid vitriol than the previous, but............
2. ..........the author was also full of s**t.
Any more words than these lends more attention to that hit piece than it deserves.

That's like picking the 10 ugliest playboy playmates from the past 15 years.... yes there will be winners and losers, but they are all so far ahead of the rest of the competition who really gives a crap.
And we all know C3's are the prettiest of all the Vettes

I couldn't go back 30 years and not find one that wouldn't be fun to jump on.

The 75 is #1 on the list. Not sure why there is no love for the 75.
It has some good features that were later deleted.
True cowl induction with open air cleaner.
Still had the cool aluminum three spoke steering wheel.
Chrome shielding around distributer.
Sure power was down but a cam change and dual exhaust will do wonders. Then you still have the cool features that some of the earlier cars had.
