Badass C3's

In my humble opinion, Jimvette has one of the hottest C3's I have ever seen. Any other votes for hot cars? Jimvette- who does your work on your car?

Re: Badass C3's (79VetteMike)

Actually some of my favorite 'Vette's on this forum are:

(in no particular order)

- Norval's '75
- Jim's (427hotrod) '67
- Chuck's '69
- Mark's (ML67) '67
- ZL1pwrs '72
- 542C2's '67

Those are definitely some of my favorite cars (hmmm I just noticed they're all big blocks too, I'm a little partial to big blocks).

Re: Badass C3's (1bad69)

I agree with all those mentioned above. Excellent cars, some with lots of custom stuff, some more original.

I will add Chuck Harmon's '68 L88 clone (468rwhp) and 427 HotRod's car (Jim). Those are two awesome cars owned by two very helpful guys.

GDaina's BB roadster is sweet, too. All of these are big-block cars.

Mine will make it on this list someday. It looks the part, but certainly needs more power. Just a head/cam/intake swap away, and I'll have the power to run 11s. I'm getting there. :D

OOPS...I see Chuck and Jim's were already listed. I guess I scanned instead of actually _reading_. Chuck's is a '68, I believe, and not a '69.

Re: Badass C3's (79VetteMike)

If I had my choice of any one vet on the forum it would be Monty's. His work is second to non.
Double click on the picture to blow it up.

Thank you Shane for including me on the list.

Re: Badass C3's (WA 2 FST)

Chuck's car is a '69. I've even sat behind the wheel. When he's completed with that car, paint and all, it will be absolutely untouchable in the showcircuit. His interior is without compare, his shifter shifts very precisely...

My favorites are Chuck's 69, Merlin's '74, Gkull's 79, my '78, and two others...

ChrisG's 78 Pace Car and Terry Rudy's 77, those guys were my initial inspiration to go mod-crazy. (Even if Terry tells me not to!)
