Just Got A C3 Today!!!!!

[MRANT212]

Hello everyone!!!! Im all excited today and can now say I have a Vette collection. I just received my 1971 Bridgehampton blue big block 4 speed coupe. To say I have an understanding wife is an understatement. The car was delivered to my door via FED-EX while I was undergoing surgery for a hernia in my belly button! Im in some pain but have been taking some great drugs to help alleviate the pain. The best pain reliever however is when I open the door to my garage and see my blue shark!!! CAC has been great and I have always received great info browsing the C4 forum. I have been looking for @ 6-8 mos for a shark and finally found a matching numbers 4 speed from a private owner. Im not great with pics so one day when I figure this out Ill post one. Im looking forward to being part of the C3 forum

Congrats on finding your Shark! Hopefully you will get to drive it soon too (if this weather ever stays constant above freezing) and enjoy the sound of that Big Block. Looking forward to the pictures. Also hope you are recovering quickly and that all is well.

Nicely done!!! I love BIG BLOCKS! I took the liberty of snagging a picture from the internet.... Bridgehampton Blue is a very neat color, and I wanted everyone to see how nice it looks:

 

[MRANT212]

Thanks for posting the pic for me!!!! Looks just like that with a black interior!! I keep looking in the garage at it!!!

Anthony, if I could have any classic Vette, it would be your's in that exact color combo. Congrats my friend!! This will certainly be a fun summer for you. Which BB does it have?

Take it easy with the hernia. I had one as an adult and it's no fun. Don't cough or laugh!! You'll feel better in a week or so. Take Care and again, CONGRATS!

X 10,000. Love the color.

Congrats.

Sounds like you are in a bit of a pickle right now. I would be chomping at the bit to get out in the garage and take it for a spin.

Congrats on the new ride. Looking forward to seeing some pics.

No Problem!!! I would be too! I love the way the car can look black and blue at the same time. What a great find! Now go get some rest so you can take her out!

Congrats Is it an LS6 or an L56 ?

 

[MRANT212]

Its an LS5...If it was an LS6 I would force myself to drive it right now...percosets and all!!!! Im looking forward to driving my LS5. The doctor says 1 week of no driving so Im going to listen. I certainly dont want to go thru surgery again!!! I cant even push the clutch in right now or even get in the car!!Thanks for the kind words!!!

[tx73vette]

Congrats Anthony Get well soon... But in the mean time if you want one of us to drive it for you we can accomadate that too.. Just to keep her in tip top shape for when you can drive her yourself... We are all Band of Brothers here looking out for one and other you know.

Hey Anthony, I gotta ask - did you get the hernia surgery in anticipation of the C3, like you would beef up the exhaust before you would put on a supercharger?? Sorry about the bad joke at your expense, but congrats on a super ride and hope you have a full and speedy recovery!

PS forget about Enzyte, Corvette is the real 'natural male enhaccement'!! :L

I thought they only put the LS5's in the 72's and 73's. You said you bought a 71. Maybe someone will straighten me out.
