68-72, Welcoming arguments for and against Targa Vs Convertible (maybe Coupe)
bushy76:
G'day all.
Have been advised by OIC home command that there is a slight window of opportunity for me to purchase my absolute dream car if at the right price. As I am new to NSW and have never owned a Muscle car before so this really is my ultimate goal.
I do need some qualified advise though, as i trawl through the cars for sale.
There doesnt seem to be much for sale, so i need any information you blokes can give regarding importing Vs local sales......
and ultimately to give me some direction regarding Targa or Convertible.
While there are some beautiful Automatic cars out there, i personally need a Manual so that is the only requirement.
I have always fantasised about owning a convertible, but the great thing about Corvettes is this Targa Option, although im not utterly convinced.
Would greatly appreciate any advise given and look forward to being a new addition to your club.
Cheers n beers

Buy one of each, problem solved.Convertible body is prone to more flexing. Solar panel is prone to sunburn. Less wind noise with T-top. AC if fitted more efficient

With importing there's more choice, however expect the waiting of shipping, import approval, etc. and risks associated, always get the car inspected.
There's a lot of imports coming through so it's driving the price down of our local product, you may be lucky and get a good one here, the advantage is you can inspect the car yourself and drive it home that day if you purchase.

welcome to the forum
you have the ultimate question what to get
the see if the commander and chief agrees
( happy wife happy life )
I am thinking from your post you are looking a t C3
so manual is set in concrete
BB or SB is the next decision
If you are not in a hurry look local for a while see what’s out there get some idea of asking price
verse what you think a vehicle is worth
Buying local has its pros and cons as does buying internationally
First familiarize your self with the inherit problems the model you want has
Get some one that is knowledgeable in the model to give you and appraisal
Do you want a vehicle you can get in a drive or one you can work on
Just a few thoughts
Search the forum for what to do when buying a vette
A good posting was up a week or so back
