Default C3s and C4s forever

I just wanted to say once again how I love hanging out with the C3 folks. You guys have the coolest cars ever created. I just posted MHO on the C5 :rolleyes: One day I add to my C4 and have one of these treasured beauties :yesnod: My goal is to have both a '96 LT4, and somewhere between a '68 - '72 butt kicker. I truly admire these great classic cars with every fiber of my being :cool: :cheers: Thanks for letting me be here :seeya :chevy

As I've said before on this Forum, there were four "Sharks" on my block as a kid, a Dark Green BB '68 Coupe, a Red '68 Coupe, a Millie Red '71 4spd sb roadster(my first ride in a C3!!!) and a Dark Blue '73 L-82 4spd Coupe. Saw these beauties daily, so I guess this is where I got my "fetish" for C3s?

Once in love with C3s, I don't know how you could not love 'em!!!

Paul Borowski -
That collection of yours makes all of us jellous
I've always said Corvettes are like potato chips you cant just have one but it seems I too have a more specific addiction... C3's!!!

bradvette-
Thanks! We love our Sharks...
Tho I'd also like a Wineberry ZR-1 C4 in my (future) collection of Vettes as well.

:cheers:

eric, thanks alot!!! Those four C3s are in "good" shape and are nice driver's, but nowhere near "show" condition like many of the C3s here on the Forum. I always see many other C3s I'd love to own, but I just do not have the room, especially now. More than anything, I just like to "maintain and cruise" them. I do know one thing, if I ever got lucky enough to hit the Ohio Lottery, I'd have the world's largest Shark collection, no doubt :lol:

Brad,

Honestly "We" C5 owners don't care what your opinion is of our cars. We
bought them because like every other vette we love them. I have owned
2 C4's I own a C3 (68) and a C5 (2000) and I have loved and do love them
all! They are ALL Corvettes End Of Story.

I too would love another vette, but what would be even better yet would be living in a climate where I could drive them year round :cry cause then I could have a couple and have them as dailey drivers :D .

Along with LS1's comments, a 2nd C3 or a C5 or C6 would be a good choice for another vette :yesnod:

I guess I'm pretty close to your dream (and mine). Have been resitfying my '74 into a fast, good handling show winner, and picked up a '96 Collector Edition LT4 a week ago.
Love em both!!
