Where were all the C3's
Twice now I have gone to CF get-togethers and been the only one. Most recently: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/zerothread?id=811801 Mostly the C5 guys. Had a great time any way. Hope to see some of you at one soon.

Re: Where were all the C3's (redwingvette)
I won't be ready to fire up the LS1 for another couple of weeks, Dave is in the middle of a tranny swap, and I don't know about anyone else... I guess they have no excuses. As soon as my car is on the road, I'll be showing it off every chance I get. Look for me sometime end of May / beginning of June.

don't feel bad, my wifes 1973 is usually the only C3 that shows at our local events as well.
But, your C3 then becomes unique. :)

Re: Where were all the C3's (redwingvette)
I've been pretty busy lately on the weekends, so I haven't had a chance to go to any events. I've noticed in the Great Lakes forum that all the SE MI events seem to be C5s only (e.g. Joe Kools, Stony Creek, etc.). I usually go to T-Birds (Troy) on Wednesday evenings for the weekly "shows" and the Village of Rochester Hills on Monday nights. Maybe I'll run into you at one of these events.

Well is that a bad thing Brian? It should make your shark the center of attention. You kinda have the same status as a C2 now. :cool:

here is a post I started in the OT section, about the earlier Vettes attracting the ladies more than the newer ones:

Re: Where were all the C3's (redwingvette)
I've missed a few events so far this year with the car in surgery for the trans swap. I'll be out there before long!
Make sure you keep this year's Hell cruise in mind for October. I think we had ~35 cars last year and hopefully we'll have more this year!

Re: Where were all the C3's (redwingvette)
They say there were 98 cars on the Skyline Drive cruise,of which I was one of 6 or 7 C-3's.Carlisle wasn't much different.I realize our cars are 20 plus years old and some may not be as nice as we would like,but I still look for them every showing I can,and will be there with mine if possible. :cool:

Re: Where were all the C3's (redwingvette)
I think there is another consideration other than time as to whether or not the C3s show. That is if the event is several hundred miles of driving and requires more than one day to attend, you start having issues with leaving the car unattended while eating, sleeping, meeting, etc. and a lot of these cars are covered by collector car insurance which requires the car to be attended or locked up.

Re: Where were all the C3's (WarBound)
T-Birds is in Troy at the corner of Livernois and Long Lake. They have a band and little give aways every Wednesday when they "officially" open for their car drive-ins (I think next week). See ya' there tonight
