Hello everyone, I finally finished my education and now have some free time (and money) on my hands. I am really interested in restoring a C3 but am unable to find one for a reasonable price. What I am looking for is a C3 in running condition. I dont care if the paint is crappy or if it needs some minor engine work as long as it can get down the road and has a straight frame. Essentially I need a C3 looking for some TLC that could eventually be a beautiful classic. For the time being I have a vehicle and am really just looking for something for me and my girl to work on. Does anyone know of any corvette salvage places in the jersey area where I could find one? Also I would like to know the approximate price for a C3 "junker". Thanks for all your help.

If you don't mind a little traveling, here's a 1977 4spd to look at: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/zerothread?id=788430
Here's another that may be closer by: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/zerothread?id=777083
There's quite a few others on that forum that may suite your needs depending on your price range and willingness to travel.
Also, there is a Rift Jones Used Parts that deals with Corvettes. Swedesboro, New Jersey USA
Local Phone: 609-467-4644
By the way, this is Sam (who was supposed to buy your 240sx). I'm still waiting for my $100 deposit refund check that you told me you'd send about 1 1/2 weeks ago. Good luck on your C3 search.
