New member here from Chilliwack. Recently repurchased a C3. Had a C3 20 years ago and had to sell it. Always promised myself i would buy another. In August last year I sold my house in Surrey and moved to Chilliwack. With those proceeds i was able to repurchase my C3. Been a long time coming.

Welcome Back!,
A great looking ride.
There are quite a few Corvetters in your area.
We’ll be making our way out there a few times this year to meet-up with friends
Hope to see you then.

Welcome Hex. Very clean looking car. You should find quite a few CCF Fellows to cruise with in your area.
The wait is over and you are back in a Vette
Enjoy

Thank you all for the warm welcome. To clear a few things up I will.
First of all I bought my first C3 when I was around 21, sold it a couple years later because I was expecting the birth of my first child and because I was purchasing my first place. Plus it didn't help out that the rear control arm rusted out.
Secondly after selling my house in Surrey, I decided to downsize, and moved into a townhouse in Chilliwack. I always told my family the day I sold the house was the day I bought a C3 again.
Thirdly....sadly this isn't my C3 that I had 20 years ago. That car was Brown and automatic. This although the paint code is brown
, this car is a 4 speed with a 383 stroker.
Fourthly I have some work to do on this car. It previously had a fire under the hood and has just recently gone through the provincial inspection. I wanted a driver not something I would be afraid to drive.
Here's to the work ahead.
Glad to be here amongst all of you and looking forward to the times ahead.

1978, underhood isn't too bad. Supposedly the motor is a fresh rebuild. Ive already replaced the intake manifold and carb. Getting ready to pull the tank and replace everything up to the filler. The tank is rusty and instead of cleaning I've decided on a fresh tank.
welcome aboard... Nice ride.
