My C3 Update

[SlyMart]

Hey guys,

Been a while and I have been working 16 hours shifts X 7 and I haven't had time putting the bumper back on and I am debating of keeping it or selling it.


I recently purchased a 2010 Chevrolet Camaro SS / RS package with CTH package and it has less than 7000KM.

So there is a big possibility that I will sell my 1978 Corvette Indy Pace car and it has about 109,000 original km on it and I only drove it like 3 months before parking it since 2015 since it needed so much repair in the rear end which it's now fixed.

Again it's something I need to think it over and I am sure I will enjoy the Camaro more since it's ready to go.

Sly after all the efforts you put into your Corvette I am thinking you should hang on to it. Use the Camaro as the go to car and use the Vet as the go to enjoyment car.

You've come a long way Sly. I agree with Murray. Drive and enjoy the Camaro. You can take your time and finish doing the things you want to the Vette.... Get some quality seat time in the Vette after you're done and make the decision after that....
I know.... easy for us to offer advice....lol.... Lastly, how about a picture of the Camaro?

keep the Vette, Camaro can be found any time as there lots of them out there, no one will notice the Camaro , but the Vette will always catch the eye.

 

[ddgermann]

I agree with the guys Sly. Keep the Vette and enjoy it. The Camaro will definitely be fun to drive but the Corvette will always be "The Corvette" and awesome to drive.

 

[YFCvii]

OK ... I think I may have your resolve ...
just put the bumper back on
... then the decision should be obvious

 

[12cents]

After all the sweat, blood and work you have put into an awesome restoration take your time before deciding to part ways with it. At least enjoy one good weekend run. Like was said above, the Camaros are almost as common as belly buttons but you have a very unique Corvette.

I've seen many a times were guy's have sold their Vette and then later regret or wish they still had it. Just say'n.

 

[AGVI]

Don't sell it!!!!

 

[SlyMart]

I have decided to keep it and I will try to put it everything back to original except the dual exhaust setup. I will look for an oem exhaust manifolds and I was wondering if anyone have a set they can sell me or trade for a set of hooker headers?

Do you have hooker headers with side pipes

 

[SlyMart]

Hi do you mean the exhaust that goes below the doors and you tend to burn yourself with? then no. just regular headers that goes under the car.

 

[grumpyfellow]

Thanks you kind of answered both my questions. I was going to ask your thoughts on side exhaust because I have heard lots of concern about burns etc and was thinking about switching but am leaning toward not going to them. Thanks for the response

 

[Rruuff Day]

Lake pipes do look great on the C2/C3's but the burn is a concern. Even with the heat shields on they get damn hot. Seems everyone (and their passengers) end up with a nasty leg burn at least once.

yeah boy, love the look, love the sound, but the softball size burn I got on my lower calf ( will have the scar forever) was a lesson in itself, no more shorts when driving the damn thing and step wide.
