78 Vette, that car is stunning in every way...and I'm partial to the 80-82 body style and dark blue cars with stripes - see sig!

Mine was originally Dark Claret. The previous owner painted it blue. Mine is actually closer to the color in my avatar. That's just not a very good photo of my car.

Default Sweet! Love for the sharks!

Yes...I say it's a Stingray. You can join the debate team on another thread





I know I've posted this here before but I believe it really shows the endearing qualities of the C3






Funny thing about the 80-82 vette is, I don't think they photograph well. For some odd reason, it's hard to capture the bulging arches of the fenders, the flattened width of the tail section & the overall shape of the car.
