Today marks the 5th anniversary of the day C3VR went online!

This milestone is 100% due to the members! Without C3VR's great members, C3VR would simply not be able (or need) to exist!

We've been through a lot together... The website has gone through some changes (hopefully for the better). We went from a paid site, to a free site, back to a pay site. We started a new annual event at the NCM for C3s (and now older Vettes, too). We've helped CECF by purchasing their raffle tickets for the past 3 years. We have some great annual gathering at various locations across the country. But most importantly we've created a fantastic community for C3 owners and enthusiasts to come together and share their passion for one of the most unique Corvettes ever built!

As of today, we have 887 registered members. (281 are standard, 288 are gold, 91 are lifetime and the rest are trial.) We seem to hover between the 800 and 900 mark. Hopefully this year we can break the 1000 mark! You can help achieve that goal by spreading the word about C3VR. One of the best ways to get new members is by word of mouth from current members! Most people when they are told about C3VR by a current member say "Oh, I didn't even know there was a C3 Registry." So that is our biggest challenge. Getting the owners of the over 500,000 C3s built to become aware of the C3 Registry.

I look forward to the next five years (and beyond!)

Thanks to ALL OF YOU for your support of and participation in the best and ONLY worldwide club for C3s only!

Our site is without a doubt the friendliest and most useful site on the web for Vette enthusiasts. It has the most knowledgble C3 owners anywhere. I for one love keeping these beautiful old hotrods on the road. I smile and wave at everyone that has restored and maintained an old car. I think in some ways it is a calling of sorts. Imagine if no one ever bothered to do what all of you do...maintain these pieces of American history. Kids, grandkids, nephews and nieces would never get to experience these cars firsthand. That would be a great loss in my opinion. I am a product of watching my dad restore and maintain C1 and C2 corvettes, as well as building and racing stock cars. I personally thank you all for what you do to keep these cars a part of the landscape.

Great job Adam and all members. A Special thank you to all of the moderators and technical experts that make this site a tremendous asset to all car and truck enthusiasts. Happy Birthday C3VR.

Happy 5th Birthday, C3VR. Being one of the newer C3 owner and C3VR member, I'm glad to have found this great resource of people, help & info.

Although it was not intended to be a B-day party, the BBQ at Round Valley was a great way to celebrate C3VR's 5th Birthday!

Thanks Adam!
