Default Another SEMA Picture

This was my first time attending SEMA. Among the 1200 pictures I took (although quite a few were work related), I saw four C3's at the show. Thought you'd like to see them.

The white Corvette is actually conservative compared to the other 3.
Thanks for the pictures.

There is something deeper going on with the green car. The rear window is canted at a different angle. And it appears there is a trunk area.

I'm guessing the spare tire was ditched, a fuel cell installed lower, and an access added to the rear deck lid to the parcel shelf? Or perhaps a separate little enclosure? Looks pretty cool.

I like the car in general, outside of the sticker placement of a bored 5 year old. Group them, my brother!

Thanks! I was surprised as to how many C3's were in the show. There were a couple of C1's, a few C2's, and a few C7's. The only C5's and C6's were in the Optima Street Challenge cars (which is where I found the Yellow C3).

While I was there for work, I did some browsing for items for my '75.

The green car caught me off guard: Thursday it was outside, Friday inside.

Nice group of C3s, personal preference but I'm just not a fan of the painted/wrapped bumpers. It reminds me of the 80/90's where painted bumpers and grilles were all the rage.

Does anyone have any more info on the white one? I've been trying to find out some details without luck. I appreciate any help.

Thanks
