Couldn't find a still or a clip, but in the movie Saturday Night Fever, when Travolta and the guys go to the place to beat up guys who beat up their friend, a C3 drives by.

The "Ferrari" in the first two seasons of Miami Vice was a C3 frame with a body kit.

On Hawaii 5-0 (TV), Steve McGarrettt’s old girlfriend Catherine had a 73 just like mine:

When they were returning the car, they "dropped" it off the trailer and had to repair the front underside. They paid me $50/day rent while the car was being repaired. I actually caught the episode on VHS at random and still have it somewhere.

And here it is:

I watch this show when I have afternoons off. I wondered about that car since it was in a lot of episodes of the later seasons. L48 automatic?

Very cool chase seen in this movie even though it’s a cheesy flick!

In the movie they say it's a 76 but looks like a 77 to me. Flags on the fender not the Stingray badge.

This shot of a C3 (possibly a '78 by the look of the hood emblem) in the parking garage scene from The Godfather Part III right before Vincent hot wires the Caddy to help Michael escape the Helicopter Hit at the Hotel.

Was rewatching the Stargate SG1 series and spotted a red 69 in one of the episodes. Lead character made a quip about the body style being terrible and that corvettes used to be cool. Can't say I agree with him lol.

Armed and dangerous black 1976. Movie was trash but the car scene was good until they blew it up.

I saw this on cable last night. The first idiot says "1975 vette my favorite year" or something to that affect- clearly its an 80-82. I don't know what was worse, they fact they have a car in a movie and no one in editing really knew what it is OR me for staying up and watching it. No wonder I stopped going to movies! If this is the best Hollywood has to offer I'll stick with old TV and movies from 40-60 years ago.

this sizes it up
