I thought I would start the C-3 section with a thread showing a few pictures of the C-3's that I have owned over the years since the early 70's.
My first was a 69 Coupe 427-435Hp, 4spd, Blue with Blue Leather Interior a brute of a Car I have to say. Cruising down the hyway at 80 mph and flooring it pinned you back into your seat. I have to say you actually felt like you were just shot out of a cannon. Best of all I only paid $3100 for it in 1971 with 11k miles on the OD.
My 2nd C-3 was a '72 Elkhart Green Coupe, L48, 4spd w/air, PS,PB,w/ Medium Saddle Leather Interior. A very nice Cruiser and one of the best cars I ever owned. Paid $4500 for this car in 1974 with 20K miles on the OD.
My 3rd C-3 and current one is a '73 Dark Blue Coupe, L48, 4spd w/air, PS, MB, w/Medium Saddle Interior that I most recently change over to leather. Paid $8500 for this car in 1981 with an original 17K on the OD. This one is a very nice cruising Vette with now only 25K on the OD. Take a look at some of cars pictures below.

Great Cars. What is that on the Panel at the front of the consol, drivers side of your 73 Vette?
Jessie, Welcome to the STS Corvette Forum which is less then a week old at the moment. Man, you have good eyes! What we have there on the left side of the console believe it or not is the switch for a rear window defogger in my '73 Coupe. I could never figure out why a friend of mine ordered this car brand new back in the day with a rear window defogger something not even needed in a C-3 yet he orders the car with manual disc brakes instead of power disc brakes. That one still has me scratching my head. There are only 2 things that I don't like about my current C-3 and that is the manual brakes and the factory vinyl seats. The factory vinyl seats I took care of as you can see they are now replacement OEM leather courtesy of Wilcox Corvette Parts.
Mr.Muffler thanks for the compliment.
