Default C3 cover

Hi everyone,
I just bought a 69 conv and want a car cover for it. There are numerous covers on ebay, can’t really decide which one to get.
Any recommendations? Should be good quality, indoor use only.
Thanks

There are five things to look for in a quality cover:

Durability: Will it last several yrs? Good stitching?
Fitment: Does it have mirror pockets and fit skin tight? Made for your particular yr?
Under lining: Will the underside scratch your paint?
Material: Is it breathable and not contain moisture?
Price: If its not at least $100, its a tarp without grommets.

The one above seems to fit the bill.

I have Cover Craft for my cars that stay outside. When one of the covers tore, before the warranty expired, I returned it and they sent me a new cover.

If you have both mirrors and luggage rack, let the cover people know!

I bought a used Wolf cover from a member here. I works well but doesnt look nearly as nice as the yoga pants Onyx one. I may get that one in the future IF they make it for early 68s. Ohh the wonderful life on the 68. The early 68s mirrors are further forward than the rest of the c3s so the mirror pockets are too far back.

+1 for the Corvette America Onyx Cover.
Super soft, fits great . . . and shows off the beautiful curves of the C3.
You can beat this indoor cover for under $150.

And . . . you get to look at those curves
