Ebay show car
Here you go...I guess good craftsmanship can be tacky,
http://www.ebay.com/itm/1969-Chevrolet-Corvette-/261979523405?&_trksid=p2056016.l4276
I never knew that the 454 was an L-88 but the seller said so,
Also while I have heard of Barris and Von dutch never heard of Larry Watson but according to the seller he was right up there with them...

The all pink interior with the pleated diamond tuck inserts is a bit too much for me.
It was a lot of work, and maybe in 1969 was pretty cool. but as styles change, some of the customization would be dated.

And a Plymouth Superbird or Dodge Daytona rear wing.........
The rest of the car is not so bad if repainted. You could probably sell the wing for a decent amount and improve the looks all in one shot.

I'm surprised that Gene Winfield wasn't thrown in for good measure!! Hey I'm sure it found a home in the local shows, ton of work with questionable results ... but hey if you like a pink wannabe super bird, this one could be yours.

Larry died about five years ago. He was a big part of the custom car world from the 50's up. At the 2009 Winfield Watson car show I had a chance to talk paint with him in (my wife has a vehicle he painted in the 70's). He was a real down to earth guy.

If it was just the superbird style rear spoiler I think that'd look pretty good. The rear spoiler works for me.

I think this was on CL the other day...
Like the gills, exterior color is livable, wing too, interior color hurts my eyes, just can't get past the "organic" license plate mounting. The lp mount reminds me of something Giger would do.
If the car was in fact done for a young lady back in the day, I wonder what she thought about it.

Should have put more money and effort into the engine.
