Default C3's who's winning?

Be it that there is basically 3 types of 3rd gen corvette I wanted to see which years were more common on this forum. I have a 76. I know the chromey's are the most wanted and respected of the c3 because of hp and smog exempts in certain states. The mid and late models not so much but still find there way into people garages some making some monster power. But who out numbers who. So what year do you have?

"Who's winning" implies someone is losing. The way I see it, there are no C3 losers.

Horse power for me doesn't have that much to do with me liking the chrome bumper cars better . It's all about the styling. They just look lighter and you can't beat the look of chrome over rubber. And don't take this as a dislike of the rubber bumper cars . I love all Corvettes. Just prefer the chromies.

My Sassy patiently awaits for the next outing. She's a '74 with a good dose of patina and personality.

C-3s?, That's all I've every owned.

1st= '68, red/red, two top convert. 300hp, 4sp with air.
2nd= '79, blk/blk, bought off the showroom floor, base 350, auto
3rd= '70, brn/brn, 50/50 partner with friend, custom with Mako parts
4th= '72, grn/blk, custom with no '72* parts!, 302 sbc, 425 auto
5th= '81, blk/blk, order new with 4sp and Gym sus.


* It's only a '72, cause that's when the home built title was granted.
