I'm sure our West Coast is still as beautiful as ever.

Here's a Lemans Blue on blue '69 L46 that I owned briefly in 2008 posing with my '72 C-10 truck. It was a sight-unseen purchase that caused me a lot of angst and $$ loss, but it was a blast to drive and it sure did look great in pics!

Bonus blue car photo - the '69 with my Viking Blue '72 442.

And since it's a C3 thread, a handsome rear view of the '69 with my old '74 L82 4 speed hiding in the garage. (Finding that pic makes me miss that car!)

Nice. and I love the 442 hiding in your garage. I have always liked the Olds cars - and I wouldn't mind a 1968 Ram Rod 350 hiding in my garage ... maybe someday

I sold this car around July 4, 2005. Sometimes I miss it. Hoping to be in another shark soon.

All absolutely beautiful Corvettes, every one!!!! My first Corvette was a 79, and seeing all of these pics tells me one thing, Bill Mitchell was a helluva car designer!!! I know the new Corvettes have all sorts of saftey goodies and all, but after the 68-82 sharks, styling has been bland, to say the least. Thank you for sharing the pics and most of all for keeping these gorgeous cars alive and kicking!!!

Since I made the thread, I get to take the liberty of posting these pics on the first post too, lol.

Anyway, after being deployed for two months, I finally got to see my car with the new paint job! C6 Lemans Blue. She looks beautiful again!

Blue shark and billies vette,
Just wondering what size wheel/tire combination you have on your car? What is the back spacing and did you have to do any modifications for fitment? What brand wheel is it? Thank you.
