Corvette C3 Owner Showcase

Brian says:

I am the 4th owner.  I bought the car in Oct 1993 from a friend that had it for 8 years.  He bought it off a guy that had taken the car to a body shop in 1985 for an accident repair.  While at the body shop, the owner had the Elkhart Green stripped and painted Mille Miglia Red.  The first thing I did was to redo the interior.  I put in carpet and leather seat covers.  Later I repaired the AC.  From then on, I decided that for the spring project I would go through the car until there was nothing to fix anymore.  Ok, that didn't work out so good.  I have rebuilt the suspension, engine and added the OD trans.  I have taken the body off and fixed the rocker channels and body mounts.  I added stainless steel fuel and brake lines.  I put a new TRW rear spring in and replaced the front bumper with a Tureflex fiberglass bumper last summer.  This spring I will be replacing the tires.  It is very important to me that the car will be capable of going anywhere at anytime.  I make the 1200 mile round trip to Bowling Green, KY every year for the Labor Day Celebration of the NCM.  In a few years, I will have to repaint the car again, but for now, it is a good 10 footer.
