CE Owners Unite! Show Yer' Photos!
Okay, fellow CE owners- I have seen calls here to show photos of red, green, white, silver, gold, black, Pace Car, and two-toned C3 Corvettes, but NEVER a call for Collector Edition Photos!
So, CE owners, show your pride and joy here! I was inspired to do this after another CE owner posted some excellent photos of his ride, from a couple of great angles.....
I will start with three photos of my CE: One on New Year's Day, 2017, at the frozen Monee Reservoir south of Chicago, and two up on Trail Ridge Road up in Rocky Mountain National Park. The "Golden Toned" one was from a morning when we got up quite early to photograph the sunrise up in the mountains.

7 years lots of DRECK!
Guys; you asked for photos..so here goes.
I looked at or talked to 23 sellers before I dropped the hammer.
EITHER sellers were asking too much and had blinders on as to the conditon of their car, or the miles were just too high.
I'm a very good 50 year mechanic, so the little stuff doesn't bother me.
Pictures show front pinstripe gone...now it's back...hand striped.
Passed emissions with 70% headroom.
Plate arrived LSTMAKO
Joy to the world! The 69 has someone to talk to now...the 69 didn't speak German. LOL

Death-Rate
I know this is a beautiful photo thread...so Not really trying to Hi-jack it.
I looked at 23 CE's before I bought Mine....
I got very discouraged...7 years of looking...35 years of lurking.
There were soooo many that were just trashed.
Paint gone (totally)
Body Damage
Wheels missing
Stripes= fergeddaboudit!
Interiors...oh c'mon how can you do this to leather...unrecognizable.
Undercarriage 'ever hear of a bushing' ???? really.
Rear windows completely non functional (mine) 26 years the back window COULD'NT be opened.
So the Q here is how many do we think are left in the condition shown in these pix. 1000-2000? (of 6500+)
Here is an example.... https://phoenix.craigslist.org/wvl/cto/6048713679.html
The 'new owner' is so up-side-down JUST reading the ad. The car needs $12,000 worth of work.
Anyway just musing....carry on! Unkahal

Ha Ha....speed enforcement device!
So much so, that I was kidding him...you know the T shaped center armrest cushion you can buy? He had his backwards.
He wants to learn. Amazingly, he has two Corvettes as well. His Daily is a 1995 C-4 coupe.
" I don't know nothing 'bout art, 'cept what I like".
We on the street, 'crowd' the driven lane...there's a Mega-church down the street...we're trying to keep people from 'rushing to meet their maker' LOL.
It is amazing how whenever I pull the CE into the driveway....all the Vette guys in the neighborhood come to visit! LOVE IT!
Cheers. Unkahal
