What's wrong with the world when a Prius is in the garage and the Corvette is in the driveway? Sorry Cocky B, just had to get you for that one.

Imagine it black, with L88 flares on all four corners, fat tires, 18X12.5" wheels (in rear), L88 hood, Hooker sidepipes, and a supercharged LS6 under the hood. You REALLY have to use your imagination!

I almost didn't post the pic b/c of that, but it's the Wife's car. She's into all that save the world crap. At least it's black right?

Sorry for the old scratched up photo but it the only one I have scanned so far. 1981 converted to a vert and running an Edelbrocked 355 and TH350. I no longer own this but it should be running around Birmingham, AL somewhere.

Man...Those 1980 to 82 Vettes look SHARP painted straight black.


Kinda wish I would've done that now

Vanilla 80 doesn't look nearly as ominous as the black one's


but hey...The bra is black
