I’m blessed to have a C3 and a C4. It’s funny how different the C4 and C3 Drive. Tech on the C4 was advanced for its time vs the old school C3 inheriting its DNA from the C2. Daily is a 19 CTS-V. That’s my 4 door Z06....
And to the previous question: one wife who’s typical response to things car related is “do it! You deserve that!” I don’t deserve her! Her daddy raised her well when it comes to cars!
This thread needs to be a sticky for easy access for spouses, like mine, who says I am the only one who thinks they need more than 1 Corvette.
1968 L79 Convertible ( owned since 1985) and 1969 L46 Coupe N-14.
I just have the '73. If money was no object, I'd have an old truck similar to Duke's above and three C3s: 1) '70 - '72 restored to original condition, 2) My '73 similar to what I've currently done to it but professionally restomodded with an LS crate engine and all the modern amenities, and 3) An electric conversion restomod probably in the '70 - '73 year range.
daily drivers are a 2020 Explorer ST and Pontiac G8. The C6 was to replace a C5 convertible. Like it was said above - very supportive and patient wife! She's not too keen on me dropping the hints about adding another C3 to the group!
I'd like to buy a C8 also. The way things are for me now, I can afford to buy one in 2022. My thoughts are if Biden gets elected, my financial situation will become pretty dire. .
From June of 2018 until February of 2020 we owned a 2012 C6 Grand Sport and a ‘72 Coupe. We sold the C6 Grand Sport in February 2020 simply because I no longer really enjoyed the car. It was sitting, parked in the garage, WAY more than it was being driven. The C3 became the “go to” Corvette for weekend morning drives and random errands around town. We also have a 77 Z/28 Camaro for weekend cruises. The C6 simply wasn’t being enjoyed any longer. We had owned a 2005 C6 prior to buying the 2012 C6. Neither one of the C6’s brought as much joy as the C3. (I’m not knocking the C6 or any other generation Corvette. It’s easy. I just really love the C3 Corvettes above the others).
I’ve been keeping an eye open for a sweet C4 85 or newer , not in a hurry but if the “ right one “ pops up for a fair price I’ll be a 2 Vette owner. At this point nothing newer than a C4 really interest me
