Model history
The Chevrolet Corvette C3 was produced from 1968 to 1982 and is considered one of the most distinctive generations of the US sports car. While many technical components were carried over from its predecessor, the C3 featured a new design and modernized interior. Between 1969 and 1976, the models bore the name "Stingray" - this time in one word. With over 53,000 vehicles produced in 1979 alone, the C3 set a new sales record and had a lasting impact on the image of the Corvette.

Comments of this past auction
Technik: Die Corvette C3 wurde im Herbst 1967 als dritte Corvette-Generation eingeführt, die bis Herbst 1982 gebaut wurde. Sie wurde von 1969 bis 1976 auch Stingray (deutsch: Stachelrochen) genannt, was auch als Schriftzug auf der Karosserie gezeigt wurde. Die C3 war trotz anfänglicher Verarbeitungsprobleme sehr erfolgreich. Der Bau des Cabrios endete dagegen aufgrund verschärfter Sicherheitsbestimmungen bereits zum Jahresende 1975. LG Tom
