New owner here; just purchased a C3 beauty. (pics later). Excited for this, my dad worked in Chevrolet Manufacturing in the years my car was manufactured. I work in Saginaw, a few miles from where the steering gear would have been made. And to own such a car that stood out in my mind as a kid, this is a dream happening! (I should have never visited the Nation Corvette Museum a few weeks ago!)
