Default Japan Spec C3

Ecklers must know something. I received a Wolfe dustop car cover today for an 80 - 82 Vette. I've had these covers before, so the first thing I did was put the mirrors in the pockets and then try to cover the ends. There was no way the cover was going to reach from the mirror pockets to the front of the car. I tried reversing the cover - no go. When I left the mirrors out of the pockets, the cover fit and the pockets are at about mid-fender. Isn't that where they mount the mirrors on cars in Japan. Hmm...

I figured it wasn't worth messing with returning - the car is covered, battery out, tires aired up, StaBil added, and a big bucket of prosorb in the corner of the storage garage.

And to think all these years you thought you owned a Vette and it was really a Mazda.
