I bought my dream car today. It's a 1982 Corvette in my favorite color. I've got big upgrade plans for it. Engine, transmission, suspension, steering, exhaust, and more.
I might post progress updates if anyone would be interested in them.
MV Edit: Well I didn't realise Imgur likes cars so much. I'll definitely post updates. I'll probably do them roughly monthly, and I'll use the tag #BlueVetteBuild if people want to find the updates. I'll also put links to all the updates on this post.
Updates:
1 - Rear End Disassembly http://imgur.com/gallery/eJcuC

Price? If you don't mind

Very nice, "bright blue", #31, one of only 567 made. Need to get a set of the original YJ8 rims, and raised white letter tires.

He has a girlfriend, and she is so blue.

Had a '73 once. C3s are great cars. Be sure to pick up a copy of the Interchange Manual so you don't pay "vette tax" on replacement parts.

Blue his house, with a blue little window and a blue corvette and everything is blue for him...
Ellitivity
And himself, and everybody around, coz he ain't got nobody to listen...

My dream is a '72 (cause I can't afford anything earlier). Side exhaust, tune og engine, fix frame etc., new wheels, (cargo rack necessary)
thetain
That's all I want, electric blue or white
thetain
Give it side exhaust! For the love of god that is what every corvette needs!!!!!!!!!

Looks amazing as it is, why upgrade?? Save your money!
SnorlaxIsMySpiritAnimal
It looks great yes, but the engine and other components need work. I'm not changing the styling though.

My fave model. Good work!

Beautiful! ... except for the wheels, personally, not a huge fan of those.
DemoEvolved
Yeah those wheels seem really off for that car to me. Love the body on that Bette tho
AfoolishMantle
It'll need the wheels to drive around though. Necessary evil

Ehh, looks nice, but I bet it can't get above 3000 rpm.
CookieMonster14
A good C3 can easily hit 3500 rpm. I own a '77.
SnorlaxIsMySpiritAnimal
Currently no, but I'll be fixing that

Why didn't you go with a c5?
ERJockey
Because everyone goes with the C5 as a project car. Best chasis for upgrades mind you, but it's old hat.
Unverified
It's hard to beat what you get from it
ERJockey
I'll level with you on that one. I personally like the z06, but the base c5 is undeniably fantastic.
SnorlaxIsMySpiritAnimal
Because in my mind the C3 Corvette is one of the most attractive cars ever made

Fair enough

Great find! I definitely want to see updates

Will do. Don't know how often they'll be. Maybe monthly. Depends on how quickly I make progress.
