About Corvette C3 Decoder
Hey, I’m Jasse — Corvette nut, classic car enthusiast, and the creator of Corvette C3 Decoder. This site started because I needed a fast, reliable way to double-check Corvette listings and details when hunting for my dream car. When I couldn’t find the kind of resource I wanted, I decided to build it myself.
My love for the C3 Corvette runs deep. It all goes back to my childhood and too many hours playing Street Rod 2, where I was always chasing after that elusive 1968 Corvette. That early obsession turned into a real-world passion: restoring, researching, and studying everything about C3s.
Accuracy matters to me. I use original factory documents, service manuals, and trusted sources like the GM Heritage Center to make sure everything here is spot-on. I also stay active in Corvette forums and social media groups, learning from real-world owners and keeping the information fresh.
For a full list of our trusted references and documentation sources, please visit our References & Sources page.
When this project outgrew its original free hosting, I upgraded to a full website with its own domain to make it faster and more reliable. Ads help cover the costs — but my main goal is still the same: to make the best free Corvette C3 decoding tool out there.
My 1976 Corvette
This 1976 Corvette is powered by its original numbers-matching L48 350-cubic-inch V8 engine and automatic transmission (TH350), fitted with the factory Quadrajet carburetor. It has 85,000 original miles and sports a Green exterior with a Black leather interior. Equipped with power windows and air conditioning, this car represents the final year of the iconic Stingray nameplate.
