My first job out of high school was at the local small town GM dealer - parts counter, service writer, whatever needed doing. Being a rural setting, the bread and butter was pickups and family cars - the odd Camaro or Firebird but no Corvettes - we still got all the Vette sales materials and I used the Vette parts book as my go-to for learning the parts system. To actually own one though, a far off pipe dream.Fast forward 40 years and my wife and I started talking about what I might like to do after retirement - although long since out of the car business, I am still a closet gearhead and my thought was to restore a classic car, maybe an F body from my younger days. Not long after, we heard a good friend was going to sell her 75 C3 coupe which she had owned since 76 - aged and in need of some work, but virtually stock and unmodified. Needless to say, my long-dormant Corvette dream is a reality and the "retirement" project is well underway. And the looks that C3's still get on the street...
