It may look mean to the average person, but with phoney injectors it may not run very well...I would presume its not a drag Vette and strictly show....

Hello All,

That's is an OK picture of the 72. It was taken last year (2012) at an Oktoberfest parade in St. Louis. I felt bad after i saw that pic, My front grill is off kilter on the passenger side. That is now fixed

The car is built to run and no i don't race it, I don't care if it is on the track or the street, I don't race. The best your going to get is a burn out of a quick spirited run when entering the highway. This is a show car and parade car with an attitude

There is too much to list of what i have done to the car but i will list it out someday soon. Thanks for all the compliments

Hey rafalc,

Believe it or not, this cars body is all corvette part numbers.... yes the wheels are custom along with blower and the wind deflector but everything else is off the shelf corvette parts. They might have been altered a little but still started out OEM.

Luerja,
That is a cool looking ride! I love the flares....maybe one day I'll pull the trigger on a set of those.....seeing that my paint job is 10 years old or more, can't remember exactly.

You obviously have a lot of time and effort into that car, not hard to tell. Good job and don't get tired of explaining numbers and things to all the bystanders that thing will attract wherever you go.

wow! really? are we back in the seventh grade learning to spell? i think most of us were able to get the jest of what he meant. oh and before i get crucified for not capitalizing, ive already been chastised by one ******* for it. you smarmy guys and your corrections kill me! i bet you just can't wait to get to the pc to check for misspellings and bad grammar. does it just make you feel good to try to belittle other people? get a life!
are you a teacher or just captain of the spelling team? maybe you just won a local spelling bee?
billy
btw , i come to this forum to see and learn about corvettes ............ not to learn how to spell and i'm pretty damn sure no one else does either.

Oh my gosh! That has to be the hottest car ever in my book. You must be the proudest owner. I know I would be.

Glad to hear you don't race it. Parades and vettes go hand in hand.
