New C3 owner

I’m a new owner of a 1978 corvette in frost blue color. I’ve been wanting a C3 for years and finally took the plunge.

I’m in the Portland Oregon area. Looking forward to summer cruising!

Welcome to the forum.

A pic of the C3 would be appropriate.

Frost blue with tan interior. Interior was redone by prior owner, originally shipped with dark blue.

Congrats on your C3 - a rather rare color as I don’t recall seeing many like that. Best of luck with the car and welcome to the forum.

Thanks everyone! I’m excited about the color because it’s a little different. Less than 2000 made. One of my first projects is going to be putting the interior color back to dark blue.
