I understand C3s are not that expensive to restore... parts are plentiful and affordable, yes?

Conceivably, find a BB model to restore?
 
Not expensive in a sense if parts are free.
And you do 100 % of the work yourself.

The early C3 Vettes sometimes had fiberglass issues.
They talk about on Digital Corvette on old posts.

Sometime around 1980-82 C3 Corvette model run they made the body panels from SMC Sheet Molded Composite Fiberglass.'
A huge improvement.
Like Drawman Marc has.
SMC used on all C4 Corvettes too.
 
Big Block Factory Corvettes are highly prized.
If you can sell the TT for 30,000-40,000 USA $,
You can own a real nice Low compression Big Block Corvette.

1970 Corvettes with 454 BBC is highly prized.

Best are 1967-1969 L-88 427.
Factory Race Car.
