I'm not to the point of putting paint on the body yet but have a little blue on the engine.

My Mulsanne Blue 71. Bought it a few weeks ago from a friend that owned it for the last 20 years. Orig. numbers engine rebuilt to 383 stroker. Paint looks OK at 10 feet but plan to repaint in the same original color so it will look good at 6 inches.




My 71; 383 Sroker, ,4speed. VBP Performance Plus suspension package front and rear, Coy Wheels, Alum. Radiator w/dual fans

Looks good to me.....Can't go wrong with two chrome bumpers......I only have one.... Block is a fully forged 383 block....Its been covered in my garage for only about 5 years now....

The worked 350 .40 over I guess is good enough for now...

Electron blue 71. I posted pictures on this thread about five years ago but since then I have fitted 2" CIC rear flares and a few other upgrades.

He had a local machine shop grind his original vents down. They did a good job on the metal work. don't know what it cost him.

Its not the original Lemans blue and it’s not perfect, but it really likes raiding my wallet. The car came with two 1969 l46 engines. The uninstalled engine is original to the car.

Perfect job of filling those flares with the tire/wheel combination. Great looking Corvette, the color, stance, and side pipes really make it stand out from the crowd. Well done!
