he beat me to it....
I was going to send the same sort of picture.....I guess why would anyone have a BLACKED OUT picture of their car???? Isn't that what Photoshop is for? PS the exhaust pipes shown are not stock...they are hidden on the 80-82.

Correct the exhaust tips are not stock, not sure what that has to do with what the OP asked for or your comment on blacked out.

Just insofar as he photoshops the outline of the car that both you and I own...correct NCRS, would not have the exhaust tips sticking out. ( Even though they seem to be one of the parts that Chevy 'Forgot' lol.)

100% correct, I never understood why the pipes never went below the body line. I've added the tips to keep the exhaust from discoloring the rear because the gasses cant not get clear of the under body while at idle.

I'm right with you...I agree. Chevy did that change to de-emphasise the performance nature....remembering that Insurance had gone through the roof on these cars back then.
I sincerely hope that you enjoy yours as much as I do....Love it.
I have a 69 convt as well.....prefer the CE.

Beautiful car!

stupid MYTH!
no carbs!
Air-brake ON!
Anybody that says ANYTHING ask them the following 4 questions;
1. Have you OWNED ONE?
2. Have you DRIVEN ONE?
3. Do you know how old this car is?
4. Where did you hear such BS?
38 year old car....starts right up and drives like a fuel injected dream WITH the 38 year old fuel injection parts!
Mine runs like a top, and gets up to 26mpg, averages about 22-23 mpg.....my 69 gets 15 on a good day with a tailwind.
