Some of the younger guys are into the "German, Italian and British" supercars with all the high tech gizmos. If they only knew how great these C-3's really are. I've had my 1969 L-71 427/435 Corvette for 55 years. I'm 77 years old and still drive it at least four days a week. The motor has 185k and is still going strong. No cheap electronic relays, sensors, solenoids or any failing parts to go wrong. The car still looks like a car for the public roads and not a race car for the track. Whenever I pull into a gas station, somebody comes over and wants to talk about the car. That's been going on for almost ten years!! So, say what you want about those "supercars", there is really nothing that matches the fun you have driving an old Corvette. Just look at the car in this video. The body style is timeless. It's beautiful. It's great to have a lot of choices but I still choose my '69 all day long.

The C3 set the basic shape of Corvettes to come right up to the C7. And that's the way it should have stayed. You don't see Porsche messing with the basic shape of the 911.

@sidefx996 4 года назад

Who the hell told you that? No one "hates the C3." Like everything else horsepower just went to shit after 1974 and that's easily rectified.

@kineticalgorithm8316 4 года назад

Yeah I've heard this argument before, but like the man said more power available now than ever "easily rectified". Also some meaty 18' to 20's to fit in those ginormous tubs

Arguably, the most vicious 'Vettes are the '67, '68, and '69 L88 Vettes. This one pays homage to them with the hood scoop and flares, and with a somewhat simple small-block out muscles the L88 as well. Nice to see no turbo or blower.

Been in absolute LOVE with the C-3 my entire life. I was born in '72 so they hold a special place. Growing, up a neighbor had a '78 Pace Car so that had an influence but the ONE that kicked me in the teeth was a beat to hell Burgundy '76. Wasn't built. Had a couple of chunks missing along the bottom. It had been driven hard and put away wet more times than you could count. Don't know if it was just the potential I saw or my love of underdogs but I have wanted a '76 ever since. Not a '75. Not a '77. Gotta be a '76.
