Cant argue with your statement but the C7 is "just another Vette" while the C3 is an "iconic classic".

I would not trade my C3 for a 7!

True enough, but there are hundreds, if not thousands of modern cars out there that fit that description, and I wouldn't think of having any of them in my garage. But a chrome-bumper big-block (or not) C3? Yes sir, I'll make room for that any day of the week.

I'm 56 now and I guess the point I was trying to make is I think most want convenience now...Walk into any dealership with decent credit and your walking out with a 500 HP car w AC.....
To me I think the chrome bumpered C3's are the nicest looking vettes ever made....Been driving a 73 vert ( one chrome bumper &#128542 for the past 18 years....
The newer generation does not want to turn a wrench anymore...Horsepower ? I will just download it...
I see fewer and fewer C3' s on the roads...Years and years ago people would often come up to me and ask if it was for sale..
When I did list it back in Aug I got very very little interest and its a nice car..

😁😁
