Vette(s): Used to own a 1979 Corvette now owned by JB79
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!
