Although I have owned three Corvettes, and love the C2 generation, I am not a huge fan of the C3s like this example. Still and once again: Different Strokes For Different Folks, DSFDF.

I will say that early C3 convertibles with the auxiliary hardtop in place are good-looking to me. Did you know that an LS7 engine rated at 460 or 465 HP was originally planned for the 1970 model year, but that engine and its accompanying ZR2 package were cancelled?

I’ve actually never heard about the LS7 engine planned for the 1970 model year. Very interesting. I assume that this was planned to follow the 1969 final model year of offering the 460 hp L88 option.
