New member. Not new to forums. I/my son have 3 c3's. 78,79 and 80. The 79 is a parts car. Were are currently working on the 80. It will be the quickest one to get on the road. We bought the 80 4 years ago. Then a deal came up that we couldn't pass by. Two for one for $2500. So we have 5k in 3 corvettes. We have not done much with them the last few years for one reason or another. But we have started back to work on them. My son is a teenager about to graduate high school.

Welcome and post some pictures of the C3s!

I got my first C3 at 15, and am 23 now.

Glad to hear that your kiddo is enjoying Vettes with you!

Default I will try

To get some pictures. We are busy family. I have children in sports. One disabled. One is a senior.
The 80 will be sold or traded when we get it road ready. He wants and needs a truck(work). The 78 is the one we want to keep. And I may pick another one up along the way.

Default column removal

The column removal is a check of a lot easier than replacing the lock cylinder. Wish I would have went that dire tion in the first place.
