Ran across this different-looking pic I took a couple years ago. We love our pictures.

Only thing I see is wrong is you had to drive that gorgeous car on gravel to get there. I hate driving on gravel with nice cars.

To be fair, it’s an L46. I like the big block hood better.

I replaced the black vinyl with leather, too. I’ve been a bad boy.

PS, thanks for the nice comments, guys.

Your car is gorgeous! It doesn`t NEED to be a big block. When we went to look at our 71 coupe, (270 horse, auto, no AC, no PW) I told my wife it was plain & simple, with no "frills". Her response sums it up well. She said... "Yeah? But look at it....it`s a CORVETTE!"
