Default Coming back into the Vette set.
Owned a bunch of different ones when I was younger.
I decided to enjoy the golden years with a wide body or heavily modified C3. When i drive a C3 everything is right. The long nose, and looking between the front fenders, ...always felt like I Owned the world.

Now to find the right one.

some of my other vehicles.
96 Dodge tow vehicle. built motor, Georing tranny with triple disc lock up convertor, compound turbos
squarebody Chevy 2wd, lowered, p pumped 12 valve Cummins motor with 5 speed tranny.
S10 2wd blazer with superchargered 6.0L LS motor, 4L80 tranny.
61 buick LaSabre convertible, with factory A/C everything stock.
