Beautiful car vettekid. Bridgehampton Blue? Reminds me of my wife's '70 she had when we met. I did a "body-on" restoration of it in 1981 and we sold it in 1998. Sure wish we still had it.

Thanks for all the nice comments about my vette. Yes it is Bridgehampton blue. I am the original owner of the car. It has 40,000 miles on it and runs like it did 50 years ago. Part of the family after all these years!
