  We have decided to sell our 78 Silver Anniversary or possibly trade for a C5. Yes we have been bitten by the C5 bug.Ouch I have included a link to local Craigslist ad. The car will be in Carlisle for C at C weekend unless it sells sooner. 15K is what I feel I need to get for the car. I might be dreaming.Pinch  Any thoughts or comments from my C3VR family are welcome.  SOLD!

I know a guy who will be a Carlisle who is a dealer. He WILL give you a good deal on a good C-5. Go on line to KEYSTONE CORVETTES, in Mt Union, Pa. Look at his inventory and see what he has to offer, go to the shop, drive it, take it home. He WILL stand behind it.

Thanks for the well wishes Jeff. If plan A doesn't work out, plan B will be to keep the '78 a while longer and save $ for the C5. In the meantime I could figure out how to fit 3 cars into a 2 1/2 car garage. (I know Al , they make a lift.Wink)  I don't see you on the Carlisle list Jeff we were hoping to see you and Elaine there.

Dave, It's a good time to buy but not the best of times to sell. Close in the sides of the camper shelter you got out back and you got a big garage. Wink I remember it being pretty big even with the 5th wheel under there. You know the only encouragement you're gonna get here is to keep what ya got and go out and buy another.LOL
Carlisle is out for us. The college Elaine works at decided to push the school year back to start a week earlier which is the Monday before Carlisle. She gets the summer off but has to back that week. Angry  I told her I was gonna go over there and knock a few heads against the wall.
It would be great if you and Mary could make it out to Eboland. Looking like a good time for all.

Well we made it to Eboland and had a great time. We also had a great time at Carlisle, But we only accomplished half of our mission. We found a beautiful '99 magnetic red coupe with 29k miles on it. We brought it home with us along with the '78. It seemed that there were a lot more lookers and sellers than buyers. We have lowered our asking price to $14,500.

First off...for a guy with two awesum corvettes you LOOK Miserable, you need a picture with that Shat eating grin I last saw on your face.
Next, that C5 is a hard color to photograph, the shots I took did it no justice, going to have to play with lighting to get the color right.
Finaly, go buy a 4 poster!

Yes, most of the smog stuff was already gone when I bought the car. A classic license plate in PA makes your car exempt from needing any emission control devices. Probably not that way in California. Not sure about the rest of the country.

That picture was from last fall. We went on a cruise to the Bahama's and it rained the entire time. So I was miserable.
I WAS able to squeeze the C5 into the garage without leaving Mary's car out.
Who knows, it may take years to get the '78 sold.Wink

Congrats!
I hope you gave the new owner all the info about C3VR.
And when you come to Carlisle next August, you can park right across from us or in back of us. Your choice.
Oh yeah, we still love you two.

Yeah, what Jeff said.
That was a sharp anniv for sure! Was it a local sale? And I'm curious what the age of the buyer was?
 
One more ebo question....why is it that when the C3 group upgrades it's never a C4?
(well there's Olson and Joel....but that just sort of explains itself......just sayin....Wink)

It was a local sale, Washington, PA. The guy is in his mid 50's and had bought a SA edition new while in the service and had been looking for another one for about 2 years. He said it was by far the best paint job of anything he had looked at. And yes I did tell him about C3VR a couple of times.
   I tried to convince Mary that instead of selling the C3, we should buy a C1 and a C7 so that we could have 1 Vette from all of the odd generations. Which would also allow us to skip the C4 generationDisapprove. I think you can see how well that idea was recieved.
  Al, I am a little concerned about where we would have to park if we return to Eboland. It would be a long walk up that hill you live onCensored.

It'll be nice to make the trip without having to tow that trailer. Don't worry about parking, I know the owner.

 I'd like to say CONGRATS, but I know your both happy. The "OLD" car will be missed. There will always be a C-3 around you can get into. Stick around with us, we'll still allow ya to park close.
