Year Identification
Thanks for your response, I am new to the Corvette lifestyle but have wanted this particular model / year since I was a kid.
I don't have any access to this vehicle but wanted to try and recreate, Tell me, what is the better year Vette to buy for a project..... 79 to 83?
Your help is really appreciated!

I wouldnt waste your time looking for an 83....................it doesnt exist.
Anything from 79 to 82 is fine but if you want a manual transmission you are down to 79 to 81. In addition the 82 is the only year C3 with throttle body injection controlled by a computer.
If you want the higher performance L-82 you are now down to 79 to 80.
