I had a blast
But some young fella here in town wanted my 75' real bad, so now it's his. The morning after I delivered it to him I took some parts to a local dealership and there sat a beautiful black C5. They had just taken it in on trade and to make a long story short it now resides in my garage. I still love C3's, after all it is what started my love affair with the Corvette. I will keep an eye on this section of the forum to keep up with what's happening. Mike

You could buy a C2+C3= C5. Then you wouldn't miss us so much

The refinement and driving experience of the C5 is pretty enticing, I'll give you that. They are a real good buy right now.
Enjoy!
