Im newly getting into cars, after I found out my dad is giving

Dude mod the fuck out of that old piece of shit.
It's not worth anything so you can only be making it better.

get some DUB rims, a nitrous oxide kit, and a k20a2 engine swap from an integra type r
thats what all the corvette nuts do anyway

If it's a smog-era C3, there's no real harm in modding the fuck out of it since those things were completely choked from the factory.

Is it really a C3 Stingray?

If it is, don't mod it.

If not, fuck it I guess

If it's a C3, do what you will with it. Late 80s C4s on, treat with a bit of respect, but there's nothing you can do to a C3 that would make it any less tacky or perform any slower.

If it has no chrome bumpers, then mod it. But if it does, then it's a 1968-1972 which should be left alone.

If it's a classic that should be left alone it's actually a classic you should sell to fund the purchase of a better car.

3/4 the people here hate anything not japanese. in seriousness if you're not even into cars just clean it and cover it up inside a storage unit for big money in a few decades.

Anon, get the year and model off your dad of the Corvette, then check around online to see what you can find out about them.

Generally if it's an early '70s/late '60s C3 Corvette keep it as stock as you can while keeping it maintained, and sell it in a few more years for $$$$.

Don't forget to drive it on the weekend to keep it healthy, these things want to be driven.

I would want you to make it faster by building the engine and/or supercharging it. Otherwise if it looks like that leave it alone.

2JZ swap
pro touring suspension
Greenwood style bodykit

This is what all the boomers do

Then they uncover it to find rust, cracked leather, stuck brakes, and seized engines.

What you do is you maintain the everloving fuck out of it and put on 200 miles a year just driving around the suburbs and then sell it once your dad is either dead or done acknowledging your existence

I myself have an '82 corvette, completely stock with the atrocious crossfire fuel injection. I have not had any trouble out of it yet since it has been in the family since it was new, but i plan on either converting it to carb or swapping in something lighter like an ls3. the year on these c3 vettes are important because 74-77 sucked because of the oil crisis; and then '82 was the only c3 with crossfire injection. Either way, enjoy it. its a true classic with beautiful lines.

Intake, headers, heads, cam

Swap a carb, way better than shitfire

How is the reliability on these things?

Could you do a 10k roadtrip / tour in it?

you'll end up spending more on gas than the cost of the car
