    Default 77 Corvette C3

    Always pretty cool when I spend some time at the other store



    And by far the worse spark plug I’ve ever seen



    More fuel = more boost!!

    Spark-a-lators and a new lightnin' whirler. Add a can of the Italian Tune Up Barium B12 and she's good to go.

    Sold mine, will soon get a 72 convertible w/ a 454
    Same year as the one Chris Tucker drove in "Rush Hour"
    72 was the last year they had metal bumpers

    DAMN, despite our “difference of options on College Football teams” you and I seem have the same thoughts on vehicles

    Same thoughts on the metal bumpers , prefer 68-72 and preferably side pipes as well


    My C6 has not been driven since back in December , figure if gonna sit that much I might as well get a true classic

    The 68-72 are still high, but still somewhat affordable if you take your time and look.
    I've looked at a couple over the last month or two, going to buy one, drive it on weekends for awhile and
    probably give it to my Grandson when he gets his license.
