The '69 came with a 427...the 454 didn't come in a Vette until '70...

From: Machineguns, because I don’t compromise

Due to the Atlanta weather I'm the only one who showed up for work. Have the lights off as I catch up with parts inventory.

This week I've driven a '71 LT1 convertible, a stunning red '69 resto-mod, and bunch of others. Lots of nice C3s have passed through. Here's a few we have in the shop right now.

The '69 resto mod

Hard to pick a favorite

The orange LT1 convertible

How about a 1-owner 1970 that was purchased when the guy made it back alive from Vietnam?

Perhaps a real vintage LT1 car, that has a '93 LT1 engine and 6speed?

Sorry, but this has nothing to do with a C5, so shifting this over to the C3 General section.

Tough choice, love the C3 gen.
I will go with the Orange LT1 Convertible since it is the exact color combo of the first Corvette I drove which was a 1972.

This Black 4spd '77 is nice looking.

Hands down, the 69 ZL-1. But that's in unobtainium territory. Realistically, an L-88. Since I can't afford either one of those. I have to stick with the one I have. 69 roadster BB.
