If you have a 74’ and up car I would try putting the rear bumper on hinges, so it can swing open to the side to open the trunk. Although you do have a gas tank in the way there too
Seriously though, the lifting rear glass on the 1982 collectors edition is probably the closest thing you’ll see to a trunk on a C3.

There’s gonna be a Halloween themed car show near me at the end of the month called “Trunk or Treat,” where everybody parks backwards and hands out candy. I’ll be going, but it looks like the kids will be getting a treat rather than a trunk!

I agree, you should not do this if you own A C3, but if it is only one of eight, and you are making a custom vette like no one else has out of a project you picked up cheap. Never mind, You just wouldn't get it. I'm sure you probably only have one and trailer it to the car show and never drive it, that's cool. I wouldn't do it if it was my only vette either. To each their own. Thanks for letting me know about #531.
