Should I buy another C3?
I have been looking for a C4 for a while and think that I have found the one that I want to purchase. Don't worry I am keeping my 78. But I ran across a 76 today and have thought a little bit about buying it. I like the back glass of 76 as well as the interior. So should I start looking for another C3, pre 78 maybee with the chrome bumpers, or buy the 92?
Thanks

No, you shouldn't, because I haven't bought my first one yet :D. Just joking, 007, by as many as you can ;).

Buy as many c3s as you can afford! Personally, I wouldn't mind a '68-'72 vert, although if you go toward '68, you don't have the smog stuff(of course you can always take it off :D ). I'm just trying to be able to keep my '75 :p:
More chrome=better car

Buy the 92, especially if its a vert. I want one of those so bad, I can taste it. I want a red vert with white interior and white top. Would look real good sitting next to my white/red 77. Oh yeah. :yesnod: :yesnod: :yesnod:

I'm negotiating on a partially restored (meaning in pieces) base '68 4 speed coupe now, but it looks like I'll never catch up with Paul!
Geeesh!, a C-2 no less...

Re: Should I buy another C3? (medic007)
medic007- I went through the same predicament, I've own a '91 C4 and many C3's, I like features from them both, so I ended building a C3/C4 vette.

Re: Should I buy another C3? (Robert Holtman)
BBBob, it's a '66, the only year Corvette to have that "Mossport Green" paint. Actually, it'd be for the wife. My first and only love is the C3s(wife running a real close second!!!). My four C3s are great-they're not at all jealous of each other, they never complain and they never argue!!! The wife has put up with my "shark fetish"? for years now and SHE is the one that would like the '66. Of course I'll be the main chauffer and pilot. So, I said as soon as our Enron and Global Crossing comes back around, we'll get one :lol:
