Default Purple C3
Adding for the C3 Color Sticky

Wife has always wanted a Purple 80's corvette.

I bought her this for Christmas.

It needs some work on the interior but should be nice once done. It's original interior is Blue, and that will be coming out.

Thanks Jesse. It is 4 wheel drive. I figure 4X4=16 and its not a 16 wheel drive so I put 2X2(=4) because its a 4 wheel drive. Mine is full time 4 wheel drive.

Personally I think the blue interior would go great with the purple exterior.
