Corvettes only come in two colors. Black and who cares! Please don't tell my other two Vettes I said that!
I have had this 1980 since 1982. My sister bought it new.

1980

A small update on my molested '68 convertible:

Before.............notice the quality job a previous owner did --fiberglassing the deck lid in place (at least he left all the hinges/hardware in place........nice-looking tail light panel--'76 I think......




Today.............



Just in case you are wondering how the front of the car looks....BRACE YOURSELF........

Sadly not mine... but this is the best C3 pic i have in my rather vast collection. Pretty much the singular inspiration to build a 69 C3 and not another Mopar.
