Welcome!
Why do you call it an "Ecklers" Corvette?
Ecklers is a parts supplier, not a Vette builder.
Got any pics?

O.K., yes, I know they built a few but I never heard them specificly called "Eckler's Corvettes".
I had a pic of one with the body kit, pretty cool. Can't seem to find it right now, but ya, kinda "Bat Mobile" like.

Update,....
Here's a link to the Greenwood Corvette site.

I like the GTO version.

If yours is the "Ecklers", this may be it.

No, never saw one as a roadster.
Love your Vette, she's a rare one.

C3's don't have 'puters and old school tech rules.
I LIKE doin' my own tune ups. Half the fun is dialin' 'er in.
