Default My 80 Vette took 2nd at the CSS Car Show

Corvette Super Sports put on a great 50th Anv. show this year with over 200 cars in entry. Everyone had a great time and My 80 Vette took 2nd in the C3 class.

Props to you! I don't think I have seen yours before. The 79 that took first I have seen before, it's very nice.

Thats because I usually enter my 68/427 in shows but my 80 was feeling neglected so I took her and she made me proud

I would of gave you 1st. The 79 didn't paint the bumperettes black. That's points lost in my book.

Great job

Douglas,

After reading my post again, I do see how it could be taken as a personal dig.

But I assure you, I was only being sarcastic about the lack of c3 pics.

You see if I were the one taking the pictures, I would have taken a pic of each and every c3 there. But I love c3s over all others.

I meant no dissrespect at all.

Congradulations

Paul

No Problem Paul

Being a C3 fan myself(proud owner of a 68 427, 78 Indy Pace(in storage) & my 80) I would have liked more pics of the C3's,but the person who took the pics was more of a C5,C6 fan....granted I love my 08 also, but it doesn't have the classic lines of the C3.
