Default ‘72- Love at first sight

I am currently in London, and during a Beatles walking tour, this stunning ‘72 corvette parked alongside the road. I was awestruck by how mean it sounded and how clean it looked.

As a newer member of CF and C8 owner beginning to appreciate all Vettes, I now get it. This is true american muscle and ingenuity. I think I caught the bug and am now in the market for a ‘72.

THAT looks like a well sorted car! The body gaps are so even!

Agree, the lines on a C3 are second to none, best of luck on the search.

Great looking C3, looks too have a minor vacuum issue but that's an easy fix. The color pops in that light.

C3s are stunning looking Vettes. I am on my seventh Vette and my wife is on her third Vette. We feel the same about the C3s as you do and are very close to purchasing either a ‘69 or ‘70.

Warbonnet yellow gets my C3 juices flowing everytime I see one. Here’s one I love (not mine)
