This is a nice C3!

The current owner and builder used to hang out here on the forum quite a bit, (GWHITE75) this is one nice car! It is worth a lot more than he is asking for it! Tremec 6 speed, 502, Vintage Air setup. Very clean car!

Re: This is a nice C3! (Smokehouse69)
I was just wondering where the guy had gone, haven't seen him posting here in ages. That car has been really inspiring throughout my project and he guided me through the Vintage Air installation, so hopefully he's not going anywhere :cheers:

This is a great example of a tastefully modified C3. That's one clean & very cool car that I wouldn't mind adding to the stable :yesnod: .

I agree that is a great price for a modified vette with all the work that has gone into it. I wonder though if all these modifications some of us make might just seriously limit the market though when it comes time to sell it. I only say that because this '76 looks like an '80+ and given the two put side by side and in comparable condition many might opt for the '80 at the same price since it is original. Of course, the horsepower(BBC) enthusiast would opt for the modified vette, but that's probably a small market.

Look at the gap between the front fender and tire. Looks like car should be lowered an inch or so. Still is one :cool: car though :yesnod:

THAT thing's a beauty, man just add DPFI, and go cruising....stop right there, need go no further.....when the tires wear out, may put on taller tires, that's about it.....which if I had it, would be in about a month, maybe two....
