Here's a must know about the C3 If you put those cool chrome header side pipes on the car. Always warn your girlfriend when she wears a dress to be careful not to burn her nylons on the side pipes 😆

Burn your nylons?!?! I have a 72 with side pipes. I does a lot more than burn nylons. If you're wearing shorts and get out it will leave a very nasty burn on your leg....painful enough that it generally only happens once :)

Fact 2. T-tops were not an "option". ALL Corvettes came with them. Except the convertibles, of course.

Which proves tge statement. You can say that all coupes had them, but not all C3s as many were sold with the convertible option instead.

@user-nh4qs6uw4e You know, you may be right. Maybe it was a 69. I do know It was built from factory for race. Had no power steering no Air conditioner. And this is how he ordered it from the factory. And also this car can take a turn. This car had incredible g. Force. And I thought my 69 GTO was fast. Well, it was fast, but the Corvette Stingray was my much faster. What a great time to be living. Those were the days.🦊 And thank you for the correction.. Have a happy new years.

LT-1 was highest hp small block, not highest hp engine then. The body style was stolen from the Pontiac Banshee actually in my opinion.

@thud9797 6 месяцев назад
Every COUPE came standard with T-Tops and on the Convertible believe the idea was for the Coupe and Convertible to be about the same price if the Convertible was ordered with the optional hardtop. If the Convertible had just the soft top it would indeed be cheaper.
