The C3 generation Corvette might not be the most desirable of all the 8 generations of Corvettes…but it is the most Breadvan’d of the Vettes. Breadvan’d…you say? Tell me more. A breadvan isn’t a van whereyou drive around delivering bread…actually it is…but the breadvaning we are talking about here is when sports racing cars from […]
un’s dress…and the low compression smog choked V8s are terrible and build quality is on par with the worst best stuff at Harbor Freight…but they have a certain aesthetic charm, and chicks dig ’em.

Find this 1981 Chevrolet Corvette offered for $16,000 in Mesa, AZ via craigslist.
I know that everybody loves to hate on the plastic bumper C3 generation Corvette — yeah the chassis is a loose as wizard’s cuff…and the low compression carburetor fed V8s are terrible and build quality is on par with the worst best stuff at Harbor Freight…but they have a certain aesthetic charm, and chicks dig ’em.

One of the biggest knocks on the Disco era Corvette’s is the lack of power from the strangled 350 V8 engines. In 1978 for the 25th anniversary, you could get a 220hp option which was a nice upgrade over the base 185hp. The biggest exterior change for 1978 was a new fastback design and the […]

Want try drive yourself completely insane? Try naming all of the parts adhered to this C3. Is that a coffin-nose AMC Matador grill? Land Rover Series II turn signals? […]

We’ve stumbled on a real beauty ‘ere folks — and I’ve got to be really quiet or I might spook it. Just look at the paint job on the back of this one — she’s a female judging by the well defined hips and vents down the side, but I’m going to sneak in for […]
Happy 4th of July to all the freedom lovers around this great country. It is time to celebrate the best of American freedom, and I can’t think of a better example of freedom than the C3 Corvette, not just because the handling feels like the chassis is free from the suspension, but also because ‘Murica.
