Default Silver Vette Pics

I'm told there is a Silver C3 on every corner. If there is I want to live in that town. How about a few example shots to lead my paint modifications this summer.

I really enjoyed that black vette thread, so maybe some of you silver owners would like to show off a little. Thanks in advance.

Here's mine.

Any suggestions on modifications are also welcome.

I'm thinking of a stinger hood with a high gloss black stinger, of painting the stainless panel beneath the door high gloss black, and perhaps painting the rim behind the rally rim black as well. Nothing too radical but I'm definately open for ideas.

Thanks.

Couldn't tell you what rack that is. It came on the car when purchased. Not sure if it was a stock item or some after market abberation, but I really think it works here.

Thanks outlaw, that thread is fantastic. Very few drastic modifications... I've seen other posts here with the wild paint, wild hoods, wild wheels... To me they're all good.

I know the value play is to return to original, but I'm feeling too creative for that. The silver and black combo is hot. I won't go so far as to put a Raiders emblem on the hood, but the black stinger should be sharp.

Keep em comin.

From the looks of the rack and the mounting brackets, I would say that it is from a 1977 - 1980 MGB.

Just googled that. Looks like it might be it. Good call

Here's my silver '69. One of the things that sold me on this car was the L88 hood with the black stripe. Kind of gives it that 'stinger' look (to me anyways). Not sure I'm keeping the black hookers though...

Silver and black....
