Will do. The person just has it there. I'll keep the board informed. I plan and getting this done hopefully by end of the week. If I purchase it I'll post more pics so it's believable that it is in fact the last C3.

Someone probably thinks it it worth something special, but those people are pretty rare.
Also, Ceasefire Injection.
I guess I underestimated the interested in this car.
Preservation trumps restoration
PM me the rest of the VIN "for fun"

Ok!
I'd guard the whole VIN until you own the car. In Texas, anyone can track down the owner/location of a car via the VIN02CobraC said:

Unfortunately, finding the whole VIN is not that hard with a little internet sleuthing. I've already found and confirmed it.txyaloo said:I'd guard the whole VIN until you own the car. In Texas, anyone can track down the owner/location of a car via the VIN02CobraC said:

Yep it's easy. Knowing year, engine and plant.
They were only built in one plant. The only variable was coupe/convertible and your pic helped with that.02CobraC said:

Yeah. Good skills. Good thing the car is not where it was registered.
I'm rooting for ya!
You're just saying that to throw us all off.
Thanks! I would really appreciate any help as to what y'all reasonably believe this car is worth. Like I said condition is fair to good. If i can buy it, I don't plan on keeping this car very long. Have too many other toys but I think it's a cool vehicle to own for a while.

Looks like the market is around $10-15k for good examples of 1982 models. Being the last one adds value.

If it is the last, I'd not restore it. I'd probably try to flip it.

They quit making C3 convertibles in 1975
I am with Burdizzo, it's still a C3; the rubber bumper less desirable variety. The only redeeming value would be being the last model.
I wouldn't get wrapped with it unless there is a really personal connection to this model.
Just seems like one of those cars at the car show that has the acrylic signs saying "THE LAST C3!" and you say "ok" and keep walking.

Agreed, unless it has special value to you personally or you really want a C3 and it being the last VIN is just gravy, I'd buy it for '82 C3 market price, give it a nice detail, and then flip while marketing it as the last C3. Be in no rush to sell and eventually someone will double your money I bet.CanyonAg77 said:

Thanks for all the help.
does it run? how tuneable are these motors? Can you extract anything more than the pitiful 180bhp out of it?
good luck with the project! Great find.

C3s were built in both St. Louis and Bowling Green. C4 was the first to be made exclusively in Bowling Green.
Yep that's what I'm thinking. I'll update the board here soon.
Nothing yet. Still haven't gotten it.
Any update? Looks like the Corvette Forum has found this thread, so I wouldn't be surprised if more people start looking for it.

Why do you say that? I can't see that anything posted would blow the deal for the OP. Whay am I missing?Quote:

by drawing attention to it, it could drive up the price than when/if the current owner wasn't aware of what they had.CanyonAg77 said:Why do you say that? I can't see that anything posted would blow the deal for the OP. Whay am I missing?Quote:

Didn't the OP do that by posting here?
Yup... I think I would have waited until I could start a "I just bought the last C3" thread instead.CanyonAg77 said:
