I bought a 1980 because I wanted an original C3 ("survivor") and 1980 was the year the 19-character VIN became the industry standard (allowing accurate carfax report). I had to do a few repairs as this car did a lot of sitting over its 20-odd years, but it is all original with 18000 miles and it is a hoot to drive. I take it out at least once a month - much more in the warm weather and I just love it. I would not recommend this course if you are looking for a daily driver (I have a TT Annie for that), but driving and showing is more fun than rebuilding for me.

 

That is really a hardquestion to answer because part of me says I could have bought a new vette with the money I put into mine, but the other part really enjoys having a NEWOLD vette which not as many people have. On top of that thought is the fact it was my first corvette andI have had it for 22 years, although 16 of those years it sat in the barn gathering character. Overall I guess I would have to say "YES I WOULD DO IT AGAIN"

 

Hey DV8 I know the feeling. I've got 30k just in bodywork, parts & paint. We won't even go into the numbers on Labor! I like you replaced quite a bit also but it is a BRAND NEW vette!!!
