It seems that you can find any C3 up to 1979 and then jumps to 1982. But 80 and 81 are nowhere to be found. I have been looking for them as well.

Ask the crazy guy who has collected every 1/18 he can get his hands on. That's me.
68 and 69 very easy, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82 easy as well, all of these can be taken apart and painted with a little skill to change color. Don't know what the OP is looking for but PM me I might just have it for a Corvette brother!

EBay is your friend.

1968 - Not expensive.

1969 Not expensive.
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw...%2F18&_sacat=0

1970 Very expensive.
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw...%2F18&_sacat=0

1972-1977 Only custom race models very expensive.

1978 Very expensive. This one is strange, maybe they got rare, I bought reasonably 5 years ago, I don't see the colors I bought either.

1982 Very reasonable. Remember 80, 81, and 82 look alike. Can take apart and repaint easy.

Yes but when you pop the hood you see the crossfire injection air cleaner and such ...

If you don't open the hood then I guess your ok.
