Added a C3
I bought a 1972 stingray over the weekend, drove it from Michigan back to Pennsylvania. No inspection in Michigan so I'll see what all it needs tomorrow, so far there's a few minor issues but really like the car. I'm sure I'll be asking many questions to the C3 experts on this forum.

What a great looking group of Vettes! I'm also a modern Vette owner and you can't beat the ride and performance of a C5/6. However when it comes to looks the early C-3's have it all over the later cars. You will find when driving that C-3 you are going to get a lot of attention. Congratulations on a really great looking car.

Only one car in that group that isn't going to depreciate like a **** over the next few years. Sure is a different driving experience, one that is heightened by the contrast of driving the others.

The C3 was a tough choice between white, red and blue. Saw this dark red and I don't believe it was an optional color in 72 but have always liked the dark red cars. As for the C7, that's easy: White, black wheels, red interior, 2Lt, manual. Probably 3 years away though. The added C3 will make time go quick!
