Re: Bashing the C3 (Neo Fender)
Hmmm... although c5's are nice, it's the ZR's, C3's and older that get the looks where I've been. Sort of like a Sophia Loren look, timeless.
Maybe in another 15 years or so the C5's will begin to attract attention like the old C1,C2 and C3's. If the C5 electronics aren't working.... they may be the real trailer queens.

Re: Bashing the C3 (Neo Fender)
Here's the solution for ANY mid-late 70's C-3..................it's called 'CRATE MOTOR'.
:yesnod: :chevy :chevy :yesnod:
Pick the right one, and you can TOAST any C-4 or C-5 that you want!
:lol: :lol:
P.S.
UN-like any other series Corvette, the Big Block is a BOLT-in for the ENTIRE C-3 model run!

Re: Bashing the C3 (Neo Fender)
The mid to late seventies were a period of transition. While certainly not the golden age of american automobiles there were a few memorable cars with the corvette being one of them. The realities of running a business can be frustrating particularly when working on a high technology low volume project. It was probably a frustrating period with more demands on reducing emissions, improving safety and reducing costs than improving performance and handling. Lessons learned from that era were rolled into the C4. It is all a matter of perspective. Look at the design tools and technology available today which did not exist in any affordable form then. The vibrance of the Corvette community today is a testement to the impact these cards have had on the automotive culture. :cool:
