I'm looking to purchase a C-3, wanted one for a long time. Anyone have any recommendations for a good place to have it worked on, when the time comes that items needs to be diagnosed / repaired. Central Florida area (Gainesville/Ocala). Thanks for any input forum members.

The best thing to do is look up the local Corvette club in your area and ask one of the members. Or.. go to a local cruise night and find the local corvette owners and ask them.

Do you have a mechanic for your daily driver that you trust? I would start there. This is late 60's 70's technology not a brand new vette. I know that you would save money over a specialty shop. Plus my mechanic likes to work on it, he gets tired of working on the the daily drivers, something new.
