Seeking Nominations for Corvette of the Week!!!
Hi everyone!
I want to try something new and see what cars you want featured as Corvette of the Week. This Friday we will be featuring a C3 on CorvetteForum. Please be sure to follow these guidelines as best you can:
• The Corvette needs to belong to a forum member.
• Share the story behind the Corvette or link to the thread or threads which contain the story. This can include anything from how long you were chasing the car and the love you feel, to the mods you’ve made.
• And last, but not least, WE NEED PHOTOS! The more the merrier. And the more well done, the more likely you are to capture our hearts and attention. In the interest of space, it would be best to link me to the thread or threads which contain the photos you wish to share, but you can share them here as well. Videos are also welcome, but not necessary.
I can't wait to see your submissions.
Ready...
Set...
Go!

This is my 78 Corvette, it was given to me on my 16th birthday and I've owned it since. I'm the second owner, the original was my grandmother (it was a present from my grandfather).
It was mostly original until a main bearing failed, rod snapped and put a hole in the side of the block. It got a run-of-the-mill replacement but once the first deviation from "basic" happened (a high-flow cat and aftermarket mufflers) things started to get interesting. Now, every system on the car has been touched (springs, shocks, strut rods, built diff with 3.73s, TKO, heads, cam, custom QuadraJet (built by me with lots of advice from Cliff Ruggles and Lars).
The best thing about owning this car is the knowledge and skills I've gained, the friends I've made, the motivation to push myself further in life and my career, initially just to support the car but that ambition grew into its own reward and motivation.
This is the car that got me through high school and college; I drove it on my first date, drove it to my high school graduation, college graduation, my first job interview, my first autocross and so much more. It may not be the most desirable of Corvettes, but it's the first I've owned (I've had 6 now) and the only one I still own. It would be hard to imagine it not being around. It's been around me my entire life, and is going to stay around for quite a long time.
