Did you know they were taking it or do they just shoot everyone? I've driven through there a bunch of times & never knew about that.

I knew they were there......There were 3 or 4 different companies in different curves with their web address posted beside them, they liked the Blue Vette ( many high resolution pictures ).

Better yet......BUY MINE ! That red 72 is SWEET. 55,000 miles / cold AC / tilt-tele / original paint with a couple of genuine door dings. NO...absolutely NO RUST. Base 350 - turbo 400. Perfect interior. New in California....stayed in Arizona....drove it to my house 4 years ago. It appears to be a real 55,000 car with tons of good luck. The ac vents need replaced, they arent shiney as they should be. Stay away from that white 454 ragtop ... that the Devils car! That devil will put you in a ditch before you even know its started. Bad car.
Now thats funny. Way to take the opportunity! I wish i could buy yours seeing i want a red chrome bumper C3

Have to ask a question for clarification. The blue '73/'74 pictured on the winding road looks like an '80-'82 hood to me. Someone said it was a '73 hood. Was it modified? I thought the external appearance of the '73 was the same '73-'79 with the exception of a vent at the rear of the hood that was deleted in '76 or'77.
Don't want to confuse someone and have them looking for wrong year hood.

Clarification...............I bought the car like that, I just assumed it was a '73 hood. The PO didn't say anything about having a different hood....I guess I need to brush up on Vette Hoods...Sorry!
