What a beautiful car! Are those wheels 17 inch, and if so, what size tires are you running? Thanks a million!

I'll say! The pictures back in post #65 don't do this car justice.
The color, the wheels/tires, the sidepipes, and the stance one word comes to mind.
Perfect!

Default Bright Blue 76er
Still pretty much stock. Replaced the starter flywheel, starter, battery, and entire distributor setup. Next up are the body mounts and some new tires. These are showing major signs of dry rot.

Beautiful Blue Vettes posted here. I have a 77 blue vette as well but the paint is somewhat faded and needs to be replaced to do the car justice. If any of you wanted to repaint your blue vette and was asked to choose between Bridgehampton or Electron 71 blue which would you choose? I am finding it difficult to make my final decision

Thanks

Don

My corvette isn't blue but my daily driver/tow rig is blue! My Duramax Turbo Diesel used to be pewter but was repainted in custom blue, this truck actually makes more hp then my vette.

This color blue would probably look good on a c3 though.
