We all agree on the exact definition of 'matching numbers'.

We all agree on whether all C3s are also Stingrays.

You sorta beat me to this:

"There, that's it - it's all done now!" (said no C3 owner ever).

The first experience with my 69 in 2008 was to replace the high beam indicator lamp cost $1. Well 6 months and a few k$ later, I had completely restored the interior and replaced the factory AC with a vintage air system.

I wish this car was more conspicuous, it is like cops don't even SEE me.

Wow, these 1970s Chevrolet parts are more reliable than anything on my wife's 2013 Camry.

If I got a $200 gift certificate to a Corvette catalog for Christmas I have no idea of anything I would even spend it on.

I think I need to wear electric socks, my toes sure get chilly driving this thing.
