Thanks for the comments, especially about the open car experience with the roof out of the coupe, and about the extra luggage space in the coupe. Definitely something to consider. I test drove a C7 Coupe and it was very nice. My friend has a T-Roof C3 and it is also very open with the roof...

Thanks so much for this link. It's a good prospect for me. Red, Convertible, exactly what I asked for. I've sent off an email to the seller. Hope to get some dialogue going on this car. Also, I have a friend who's bought a few cars at long distance and has given me tips and pointers. Being so...

Thanks for the comments about your experiences with your '73. My friend has a '79, also a C3 and it's a lot of fun. I have concluded that the C4 is the best option for me at this time and I'm looking for a red convertible.

There is a cruise night in Huntsville in the summer at the Canadian Tire parking lot. It's usually Saturday nights starting at around 7:30 PM. I've been to lots of them but no Corvettes. Last July I was in Minden on a Thursday evening and caught the cruise night at the (original) Kawartha Dairy...

Those are good questions and my answer is "all of the above" I would use it for weekend cruising, some Corvette events, and it should be reliable enough for a long distance trip once a year. I'm not set on whether it's manual or automatic, it could be either. I'm more concerned that it's a...

I think you are right about the 1996 model year being a good choice. Thanks for the suggestion. Now, if I can find a red convertible with low kms inside my budget price ...

My friend has a '79 C3 and it is an excellent car. We're also looking at that version and finding some at the lower end of the budget range. Thanks for helping me with the search.

Unfortunately the '98 to '99 are over the budget limit I have set. You are correct that the C4 vintage is where I'm likely to find an answer. Thanks for your suggestion of what year/model to look for.

I found a '93 convertible for just under the budget maximum and a '96 just over the maximum. Yours is good advice, thanks.

A 2003 convertible would be excellent but, alas, is above my budget. Maybe when I trade up in a few years I'll have the budget. Thanks for the tip.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm certainly finding good candidates in that '92 to '96 range, some convertibles too. And yes, the hunt is a lot of fun.

Thanks for the tip. However, I think I'm seeking a simpler and more aesthetically pleasing solution. I'll pass on that one.

I'm thinking about getting a used Corvette this spring. I'm in Canada and thinking in the $10,000.00 to $15,000.00 budget range. What should I be looking at in terms of years and models? I don't have any experience with used Corvettes so I need input from those more expert than I. I read one...
