Your vette is truely beautiful! The silver and red are classy, and the engine bay is factory clean. You really captured her best curves with your pictures. I hesitate to offer a suggestion to a guy who obviously has taken excellent care of the car- but you might want to replace the yellowed radiator overflow tank with a fresh white one to finish off the factory engine compartment. Thanks again for being such a great caretaker of that vette.

Nice Ride Dave- I'm in NJ as well,(Morristown) noticed you have the QQ plates. I may be looking at it's twin ,but a stock 77 L48 this weekend-do you have any details on the emissions requirements for non-QQ 77 cars? Do they look for the stock cat, or is any cat good enough? Do they tailpipe test it for emissions?
Thank you in advance

My boss owns a Bloomington Gold original 75 Vert with about the same mileage. His is white with oxblood interior white top, L48 auto. I do like yours, and I hope it's not one you never intend to drive even with the low miles.

I never can remember if and when they were available as a line option, or if they were only a dealer accessory. I think the luggage rack was a line option for at least one or two years.

Damage to rear fender, OUCH!!!
Thought I would send some pixs of my 75 coupe. Original paint, original owner,some mods include updated sound,true dual exhaust,3:55 rear,and Edelbrock intake,Bilstien shocks with fiberglass spring. 45,000 miles. Hope you like the pixs. After I posted these photos someone asked about repairs over the 33 years of ownership. Most of the work done to this car was to improve it over a stock 1975 L48. Along with the above mentioned work I also installed an Edelbrock cam. All of the bushings have been changed to poly. The A.I.R. pump and EGR valve have been removed. The carb was rebuilt. I installed a shift kit in the T400 trans. All of these improvements have made this car run much better. Don't forget this was a choked-up first year catalytic converter Vette. Any part that was taken off of this car is stored away in case I ever got the bug to turn it back to stock. 
Where should I go for a minor fiberglass repair in Union county NJ?
