Help Please C3 Corvette which year and what to look out for?

[hbr1]

Hi all, I’m new here and joined as heard lots of great things about the forums and friendly professional al advice that is given.

I am looking at buying a C3 and happy to wait to get the right one, would even consider importing one from the USA (any advice on doing this gratefully received).

I guess my man in questions:

1. Which is the best C3 i.e which year and what was the manufacturer spec on that year i.e. auto/manual, engine size etc.

2. What are the pitfalls with the C3 and things to look for?

3. How easy are they to maintain and obtain parts for?

Many thanks in anticipation.
