Shot today for a classic car magazine. Special edition model # 3,330 out of 5,000 or 6,000. Malaise Era, baby!

I have always thought that was one of the better looking Corvette generations.

It looks good. Pretty tight inside for a 6'4" guy like me. V8 sounded a little underwhelming, mated to a 3-speed automatic.

The owner has a Skoda TDI as a daily driver and he's like, "My diesel Skoda is quicker to 100 km/h than this thing!"

The metal bumper versions are my fav! The C3 design is timeless......

Early C3s were awesome.  The design is one of my favorite generations.  After '72, though, no thanks.  They were severely castrated (185 hp out of the standard 350 motor!!) by emissions and then you toss in the plastic bumpers of the later 70s...

Exactly!!!

This one had more power (according to the owner): 220-horsepower!
