    I like the fact that Shawn points out the lack of control of a mega power car. I'm totally down with that. My own car makes 440 to the tire, weighs 2700 lbs and is more than plenty. A thousand HP is a recipe to shorten your life. Nice C3 by the way. My own taste would be rallye wheels, an original steering wheel and a T56 trans - but hey, that's me, a car is never really finished.

    Love this Vette brings back memories of 1968. Was 21 my friend had a new Vette every year from 65 thru '70. 67 427 68 390 HP, 69 390HP T-top Black, silver interior with the new style side pipes, 4spd. The 69 Vette was $6300 and change brand new out the door. The 70 entered was a 454, auto trans, top with leather interior and Air Cond. This Blue Vette has alot more HP and Torque but it reminds .e of my friend Jim and cruizen in his 68 roadster back in 1968!

    Loving the old school look. Blue with red interior. Gotta have a soft top in LA!! Love to see the old school BBC and Muncie 4-speed, not your typical LS. Not obnoxiously loud, but got a nice growl. Nice cruiser with the top down. Don't have to yell. Bet those seats get hot....youch!! Should not take long to sell I would think. Love the styling of the C3 Corvettes. Went down hill after that in my opinion. Be safe and stay well.

    You aren’t alone on thinking C3 Corvettes were light when in fact they were pretty close in weight with steel bodied cars. The reason was all the support structure GM had to add under the fiberglass to stiffen the car. Without this the bodies flexed excessively causing cracking.
