what year is it? They didn't make any black corvettes from like 70ish to 75ish, so if its one of those years, that would be COOL! I'm all for buckin' the trends and owning something no one else has, aren't many black C3's unless someone paints them that!

I never realized the 74 Vet's didn't come in black.
Looks like mine will be all black.
Fathom Blue is really nice to. I saw a 70 Camaro in that color and it really looked good.

Check out the color of my 69Z28. GM 2003 Electron Blue Used on Vet's that year only.

Black is a beautiful color as long as you keep it clean. They like to show every flaw though, keep it in mind. My 75 is black and I absolutely love the color. I have donegreat deal of restoration on the car so far and noticed that in the door jams, around the handles, and also under the seal plates, the car is still black all over. I think the original owner must have specially ordered my car that way because black wasn't a normal option. Usually if you look really hard, you can tell if a car has been repainted.Does anyone know anything about this? I can't find anywhere that has a diff color than black.

Look up the paint code on your your Vet then you will know for sure.
Someone on this form should know know where the number is located.
