Very hard to say as they are registered with the DVLA under a number of descriptions (e.g GM, Chevrolet, Corvette), but out of around 800 CCCUK members, 321 are showing as owning a C3 as their first or second Corvette. In the past some have said that there a twice as many Corvette owners as the ones we know about.

Here's a breakdown by year:

1968 11
1969 27
1970 17
1971 19
1972 23
1973 19
1974 12
1975 21
1976 27
1977 17
1978 51
1979 22
1980 24
1981 16
1982 15

Makes one wonder why there are a disproportionate number of '78 Vettes (as compared with other C3 years) in the club?

I bet a majority of the 78 cars are silver and grey like mine as that was the most popular colour for the silver anniversary

Possibly due to Anniversary, Pace Car editions and the biggest change to the C3 shape - the back window - in retrospect as time has travelled and all C3s are history, the Chrome Bumper cars are now the most coveted.

Probably also due to to in 78 all the 6502 Pace Cars were only made for dealership show pieces ,then due to demand they produced the 25/50 anniversary models .
