C3 Owners Are Now +1
Hello everyone,
Blaine Locklair from Summerville, SC here. I actually signed up for the forums back in 2009, but never posted before I sold the 1998 I had at the time. In December 2016, I bought a 1980 C3, my first C3. It's custom painted by Richard's Corvette in red with black ghost stripes on the hood and side vents. Full frame-on restore with over $15,000 in receipts. Full ownership history from the first sale in 1980. It started life in Georgia, but has been in South Carolina for over 25 years.
Just a quick note to say "Hello" and let everyone know I'm out here and the car is a part of the Corvette Forum community. I'll put up additional pics in the red Vettes section soon, along with some info I've gleaned from owning it so far and the things I've done to it.
Thanks,
Blaine
