I can't verify rarity, but definitely a hard-to-see photograph. :D

By looking at the non pace car seats, I say its a 78 with mod rear bumper among other mods!!

I'm curious about that Chevelle in the background. That's exactly the car I want for a dual quad 409 project I have that needs a home... Dang it! Arkansas a ways away from here.

Uh, it's a '79 and those are "Pace Car" seats.

Just a quick pic I took when I backed it out a little to clean its "bed"; late in the day overcast, and raining. First time I've gotten it out of close quartes so I could look at the wheel/tire combo. Gotta do something about that fender gap; 285/40-17 just don't fill it. I don't think I want to lower it that much, but I do have another idea....

It's a rare photo because I've never posted a picture of it on the forum before, and it'll be a good while before you see another.

You want to see more of the car? Look at the front cap on top of the Chevelle hood!

I must be sick; I've gotten over 600 people to look at this crappy picture! :D

No, all of the pipe is square. I'm gonna use it for my sidepipes; unbelievably light. Heck, I've removed the doors to save weight. Oh, that red faced alien is really my Honda ST1300 that will BLOW the doors off most of your Corvettes!
:cool:

By the way, it's almost 800 views now! :D
