C3 in the river
Watch as divers and a tow truck pull a yellow 1980(?) Vette out of a river. Full of silt and very heavy.

One of mine met the same fate.
I sold a real nice '80 Red, 4 speed to friend of mine years ago. Partying hard one night, speeding, missed a curve in the road and sailed it out into the lake.
bye bye nice Corvette.

Actually, I have to say quite a few years ago a cop told me about a Harley they pulled from a river that was sitting in their evidence room getting ready to be auctioned off. It was considered ‘abandoned’ by the owner who dumped it. It was a 1954 and was in the river for a few months. I bought it for $5.00. No title. Just a township receipt. A new seat, it needed tires anyway, and a years work. A used short block got me a title and I had a real nice bike for many years finally selling it 10 years later for 5 grand. Of course the ‘lost title’ laws were a bit easier then and they did not mind I used the engine serial number instead of the vin number but a little water and a lot of mud didn’t hurt a thing.....lol
