I remember that engine thread. And the FI vs Carby thread(s). Didn't remember the inside joke...

For a forum where there is often drama because of not enough corvette content, you’d think that the membership would celebrate this and not ridicule the guys Vette. |

Obviously, Gene has done a shit ton of work on the car, and I believe it is a more solid and reliable driver car than most early C3s. Just out of general curiosity, I do follow the selling prices of chrome bumper C3s, so I was hoping I could help him at least a little, but a car that heavily modified is a part of the market that I really don't know anything about. |

I guess my issue with the C3s is that they reached their heyday about the time I was finishing high school and EVERYBODY had one and the styling seemed a bit gauche and over-stated at the time.
If I had one now I could prob tolerate it without projectile vomiting. |

Mods are tricky......they can be done tastefully, or they can be a detraction..........why oh why would someone change one of the most iconic and beautiful rear tail light designs in automotive history to something that is not at all appealing? Again why in the world would someone change one of the most iconic, and cool head lamp assemblies like pop up headlights, to something that is not very desirable? painted C4 wheels, and one of the least desirable wheel designs of any Corvette out there, the C4 salad shooter......I personally like them well in stock fashion on a C4, but nearly any other wheel choice would be better on a C3....I could go on, but just suffice to say, nearly every mod done to this car is a negative, not a positive. that makes the market for it, very small. small markets require very aggressive pricing to move the item.....so..........$10k-12k tops. it is kind of a shame, the wrong direction, and length this car went in that direction.
