C3 representation
Hello Texas! After 5 months of searching I finally bought the Corvette I always wanted. A white 77' with red leather and rallye wheels, a survivour with 54k that I found here in Dallas, "a dealer friend of mine just happened upon" This was my wife's idea as our Daughter moved to Lubbock to become a Red Raider! Guns Up! Something for us to enjoy together! My question is which one of the "clubs, groups etc' is geared more to the C3 crowd? We have friends in the Lone Star club who drive a C6 and from what I can see most of these clubs are filled with New Corvettes. I guess you would call us "Grey hairs" as we are in our 50's...any thoughts?
Thanks and Glad to be among ya!!! P.S. My wife wife is still lamenting the theft of her 07' Trailblazer SS two weeks ago, I want to make her smile, I think the little white Corvette might be just what we need! MH

Nice to see anothe C3 around. I mostly attend track days with mine so it's not stock any more plus the old paint is looking very tired.
I'm not up to date on the club thing so hopefully someone will chime in.

It was great meet some of you at Cars and Coffee, My timing was off as I will pick up the 77' Monday in time for my 56th Birthday on Tuesday. Four years away from 60!!!! I guess 60 is the new 40. MH

Congrats on getting your c3 tomorrow! You do know to take pix and post for us, yes? 
My guy lives in Carrollton. What part of town are you in?
He drove his c3 down here a couple of weeks ago...here's a pic of both of ours.

Birthday was yesterday and the Corvette is not in my garage! It's a radio problem and they want the car Perfect before they hand over the keys. There is a fellow here in town who refurbishes GM radios and he is working on mine. Maybe Thursday or Monday!!!!! I want it perfect too so I'll suffer!!
