Is that the club I see? I saw one of those cut in half and laying in a snow plow pile in the Wal-Mart parking lot in Mc Henry last week... I was sitting in the parking lot eating some yummy Steak n Shake and there it was... My guess is the car it was on was where I was now parked.

The rubber bumper C3's catch too much grief from some of the chrome guys, but I tend to like sharks of all breeds.
Den, those wheels look great on your ride.
BTW, can't help notice how many of these have either an air dam or rear spoiler missing. What's up with that?
I know a few of you have seen this one, but for anyone who hasn't here's the best shot of my version of the Silver Ann...
At the time - L88 hood, PC dam & spoiler, Goodyear Wingfoots on Western Superlites w/blk centers, blk Hookers, 427 BB, 4-speed, bubble taillights, lowered to Power Book race prep heights... The louvers will be giving way to dark window tint.

Nice car, great engine. It almost look like the one in those corvette catalogues (like ecklers and corvette america).
When i bought my '78, i wanted to have the exact modification you have on yours but more years have past and more i love the way mine looked so i decided to leave it like it is now.
