Love the back glass on that '79! So is the back glass the same on the 79 and 82? They look different somehow but I can't put my finger on it. May be the spoilers throwing me off?

Hot Damn Cotton! You win!

Probably the hardest color to maintain...but boy is it worth it...here's to one of the sexiest cars ever made...in the baddest color a car has ever came in!





S/N:this is also just an excuse to see pics of some of my favorite cars on the forum...Palmbeach, SuprJames, and Kaos. And to maybe also find some new favorites...lets see em

The most stunning part of a black vette is the timeless, radiant shine. My car's paint is far from perfect, but still it gleams like it's 1979. I hope you guys enjoy this girl's racecar dream: my black and red Demon.

Here's my Lady, a 1980 L-82 rolling project in the moonlight. Currently installing Steeroids, a DeWitts radiator, and crying because I can't make the glass T-tops fit.

All very nice.
My 73 is currently white, but I'm seriously looking to go black during my resto/mod.
