Default Car Show today!

To the Vette to its first car show. It’s a survivor car so I didn’t do any detailing. I had fun and got a lot of nice comments.

Hi m75,
Looks like a nice car that you could have out on what looks like a nice day!
Way more than enough to like about a 69, 427, coupe with a/c!!!
Regards,
Alan

My favorite part that you can’t see is the 4 Speed. The only reason to have an automatic in a C3 is if you only have one leg. (The emoji denotes a joke)

Or a L88. Nice car. If you get a chance can you look at the headlight washer hose routing? I'm reinstalling the nozzles on my 69 and trying to figure how the hoses route from each nozzle to the "T" and from the "T" to the check valve.

Beautiful car, congrats!

My pet peeve; open hoods at car shows....ruins all of the visual incredibleness of corvettes.....and just about every other car too. But I digress.

Enjoy the heck out of that beautiful car!!

I have the same car same condition in a 68.
I pull up to a free cruise in, I'm not into the whole Trophy thing.
I shut the door and walk away and enjoy the show.
I'm not paranoid or worried and feel like I have to helicopter over my car.
If you like it look at it if not move to the next one.
Kinda like Badda Boom Badda Book.
I like your car just the way it is do not change a thing!!
