Ain't it the truth!

I'm a little older now at 64 but your statement about the lines of a C-3 are absolutely correct. When I see one parked I stop and look. When I see one drive by I stop and stare. Whether a driver, a racer, a show car, in any color they choose, the car just has class.

I'd have a massive garage built for all my cars that I'd accumulate. As far as my current car, it would undergo a complete body off restoration, or possibly immediately get a 500 or more HP fuel injected small block, and a 5 speed along with the associated driveline upgrades to handle it. I'd of course have a collection of Corvettes, but there would be other muscle cars too. I'd try to locate my first car, my 71 Cutlass and do that up the way I always wanted to. If not, I'd find one to replicate it.

David, I'd buy and reopen the Country Club in Binghamton that I worked for, and drive a nice SSG coupe to work every day

Upon a little more reflection on the idea of having a couple of mill lying around, I would open a speed and machine shop. I would employ, train and be known to have the most knowledgeable customer service oriented people in the industry. I would sell performance parts, equipment and machinist services at the lowest prices so everyone could afford good quality parts and equipment for their projects. Every penny of profit would go back into the business and to the employees, as I would never worry about profit for myself.

I sure like the way you think and your thoughts inspired me to reflect on our hobby. Nicely done.

I would love to do the same thing with the rolling chassis's for the C-3 Corvettes. Bring as many back as possible, keep them on the road as long as possible. Now if you do the engines; I cover the chassis's; all we need is a body shop and we can get the high cost of restoring the C-3's back down to a hobby more can afford.

I like it.

Thanks for sharing.

I would open up a business next to the Corvette Assembly Plant and the Corvette Museum in Kentucky. The Corvette Dis-Assembly Plant.

There any Corvette ever produced could come in and be placed on the dis-assembly line. Anything could be ordered for any particular car. Order your car disassembled and rebuilt to factory specs no problem, order a new engine no problem, new paint no problem. So any work done no matter how small along with the line of complete body off rebuilds.

Collect parts from all over the country for a massive facility that would carefully refurb and catalog the parts.

That way cost of any type of refurb are lowest since it is done all day every day. And anyone can have things done to their car with expert work and predictable time frame.

Plant manager would be DUB? Quality/Historical Accuracy Alan71?

Very nice club, shame the area changed that much ....

Still have family in Johnson City, Endicott and Vestal. (Big Flats ..etc)

I would by a large RANCH, build a small track behind it.

Build the shop of my dreams and invite all my friends and their friends for great fun weekends.

I would definitely keep my C3's and C4... maybe add a Split..

OldCarBum, Allvettesforme and minitech, such GREAT and cool ideas!! WOW!

Thank you! Miss the Triple Cities. Thought I'd be there till I retired.

Sending PM momentarily.

Some time ago there was a thread about old defunct race tracks in the USA. There are plenty of them.

So your plan could be buy a nice old track and build a ranch on it. Much less cost with the track there already and probably some structures too.

I like your style

Nah, who needs the basketball net?

What is this car ? The same as jeffs82c3 posted

An absolute prophetic idea. It would be the coolest program yet filmed for the Velocity channel and we could drop some of the drama program rebuilds.

I recall reading about it several years ago. I don't remember anything other than the stylist was going for a combination of 57, 58, and 59 Chevrolet styles. I think the car is called a somthing or other "789"

I haven't contributed yet as I wanted to think this one through.
I would pray about how to use this blessing wisely.
I would give GOD his portion first.
I would take me '68 over to the local Votech school and pay for all expenses
and we could let the class systematically disassemble and restore my car.
My interests would be to encourage another generation of car people to consider the
C-3 for all her uniqueness. It really was ahead of it's time.
I bet allot of 17 y/o car kids would want to participate and learn along the way.
This would take the whole school year.
The one who showed the most enthusiasm, strike that.... Passion in the car, I would leave it to him or her in my will. I guess we can do what ever we want when we are a millionaire.
