C3 Facebook Groups
Good Evening All,
What are some good FB groups out there dedicated to the C3. I do rely on the forum for many of My questions, but I always like to have other platforms as well. I’m looking Specifically for parts and Auto sales. I belong to a few C5 ones but don’t know much about C3 groups.
Any help would be appreciated.

There are quite a few very good groups. Look for dedicated year focused group along with general C3 group. I belonged to the 68 Owners Group. It is a great bunch of people with a lot of information and we all helped each other. However in light of the recent political environment, I've decided to not support FB and deleted my account. FB actually censored a members comment on the hunter biden story. That was the first political comment in 3 years I saw on the group. I just personally can not support that kind of censorship.
Good luck

Searching FB is a pain compared to this Forum. WAYYYYYY more knowledge here- just saying.

I belong to a 68 specific one. Here: 1968 Corvette Owners Group
I also like to research different sources of information and not lock myself into only 1 source.
Go find a group. Take a look. If it's a bunch of nutjobs just leave and find another. It ain't rocket surgery.

Seems like most of those Facebook groups are just guys posting pictures of their Vetts at the gas pump, this forum is much better for info and getting answers to questions
If I see one more picture of a corvette at the gas pump with the caption "thirsty Thursday" I'm going to puke.

VERY true. I just dont understand this gravitation towards social media for information/community. NOTHING beats the forum model. This forum is one ov the few still decently active. Most are dying or dead. That... is a shame.

I've joined a few different FB groups over the years and left all of them quickly because they just filled my timeline with crap.
I don't use FB much anymore. I'm an admin for a couple of Samsung groups and the number of fake accounts being added to FB daily is ludicrous. People with no friends but members of 200 groups, that answer my joining questions with the same response Ookk tells me they are fake. They join then try to post live videos all the time. So out of hand it's now pretty useless.
This forum can't be beat!

Facebook Marketplace is the one thing on Facebook that I feel has real value. It seems to have far more reasonably priced cars and parts compared to FleaBay or Craigslist. Even when using CSmart (an all craigslist search app), I find more and more appropriately priced corvette stuff on FB Marketplace.
As previous posters mentioned here, this is the far more informed and helpful crowd, in my experience. This forum (the C3 Forum, in particular) is like a searchable textbook on all things C3, including classifieds, with very helpful and accessible professors.
