I can barely afford one. Two would be out of the question.

[QUOTE=early shark]

Stable included 6 coupes, 3 1970's, 1 1971 & 2 1972's, 4 big blocks and 2 small blocks.

If they're sharks, wouldn't that be a "tank" instead of a "stable"? I have two - A red '75 coupe made by Chevrolet and a mint white '67 Convertible, made by Maisto, 1:18 scale. I like 'um both.

Not asking how many want to own two C3 corvettes--I know the probable answer to that! I know some have attempted to have two, but the time and expense of one was all that the member (or wife!) could handle. Just curious, as I have found a 2nd car that sure looks good!
I would love to get a BB 70 Auto Vert to match STINGRY.

That would be

Let's say there's 2 C-3's in the family. My wife's and mine. But on the bright side I get to work on and buy parts for both of them. Aren't I a lucky guy........

Hi,

We have 2 1971 Stingrays. The black one has a NOM 454. It has gone through a complete frame off restoration. The car is an absolute weapon! The red vette is a base 350ci matching # vette with original "performance" 3.36:1 diff and TH400 tranny. When you can't decide between a big block or small block...just get both!
