Ha! Easy to find something you want!
The 68 you and I were looking at a couple years ago went to its next home in Minnesota early this year. Oh well.
The last blue one custom I am pretty sure belongs to a guy in new Orleans who has had it forever. Few years ago when counts custom came, he told me Danny spent a long time checking it out and asking Q's. CTC fun!

The front appears is the ecklers one that sorta bridged the gap between their custom 68 69 tilt and monza tilt,
On this car its not full tilt but you get the idea,

For the blue one, I think....
Only spent 2 days at Cruising the Coast this year, close to 8000 (update: 8444 from 44 states for 2018) entries of all types over 25 years old. I believe I saw more Corvettes of every generation than I remember seeing in the past 10 years. Great to see folks driving and enjoying them!

I had to leave this morning back to the grind. I went one year and stumbled onto about 70 or so Vettes on one of the back beach roads gathered at a Grocery store parking lot. I saw a lot of custom stuff too

The blue mid year could make me like coupes, but i liked how the coupe doors cut into the roof like an old airplane,
So not sure if i would like doing away with it,
I have seen a mako c3 that was built on a convertible, what a waste imho...loosing the topless feature,
Timings off to stop but i see little parking lot shows here in around eustis and there is a sweet mid year old school road race car at many of them, it has that cool sat 20 years in a warehouse but fixed up to drive vibe.
I just got a wild idea, ( yikes!) since you have "13 bats" in the subject line lets have some fun and use this thread to post modded cars we see, good or bad, love them or hate them post away...

Yes, technically speaking my car is "customized" and quite a bit. But all the changes I'm making are using original factory styling even if they are from different years of C3. For example, if I had unlimited funds I'd buy a 77/78 Trans Am and put the 81 Camaro tail lights and rear bumper on it - customized but using original factory styling. Now customization that is nothing like the factory ever did is pretty iffy for me.
