Vette(s): 1982 C3 Collectors Edition 44000 miles, sat in the sun most of its life, My wife purchased it for me for Father's Day in 2007 from her girlfriend that had it for 19 years. It is on the road again. I'm retired but it is now my daily driver.
Welcome Terry

After several C4's and C5's, I decided to part with my last (Z16 Z06 CE) and look for a C3.
An internet search turned up a 70 Roadster at a classic car dealer in Dallas. The car had been consigned by the family of a 91 year old lady (reportedly with dementia) that purchased it in March 71 from Friendly Chevrolet in Dallas. The VIN production indicates it was #13198 produced June 24 1970. Reportedly the car came from a dealer in the Northeast. I would love to know if I am the 2nd or 3rd owner but the family doesn't know and the dealer is still in business but wouldn't or couldn't help.
I flew to Dallas and purchased the car and drove back to Oklahoma.
I didn't really have a plan but have been tinkering with it for a couple of weeks. I took it by a local Corvette shop for a closer inspection.
Turns out about the only major components that have been replaced (argh!) are the radiator (aluminum) and carburetor (from a 78).
As I said, I didn't have a plan for the car, just wanted something from my era.
