Beautiful.....I just bought a 69 Convertible Vette, planning to paint black with red interior......but white is very awesome. Thanks for the inspiration, and glad you had a good drive.

We put a couple hundred miles on mine yesterday on a day trip to the mountains. Indeed a great time to get out and drive them!

Yeah, the next few weeks will probably be it before I put her away for the Winter. This year she will get a new interior - carpet, seats, and rear wiring harness (while the carpet is up). I'll also add a spreader bar so I can get the alignment right in the Spring.
I should name her "Black Hole" since it sucks my money down a hole of repairs and parts. .

Another beautiful fall day deserving of a Sunday drive to nowhere.
