Useless Friday Post

This is my useless Friday post. I just noticed that my 1995 C4 Scale Model (http://www.thespindlepeople.com/imag...dle4/PM118.JPG) has a flaw. The third brake light is still ontop of the rollbar. If I remember correctly, it moved to the rear bumper in 1992 or so.

That's because they sent you an 86 with the late C4 body kit.

Send it back and ask them to replace it with the 1983 model.

With the third light on the top of the rollbar it must be the rare ZR-1 model. You have a winner!!!!

My 95 scale module doesn't have the third break light and has the saw blade wheels.

I'm thinking fraud. I don't see any floppy eared visors in it.

Didn't the ZR-1 still have the high third brake light? I see it's sporting A-mold wheels.

Yes, the ZR-1 kept the high mounted third brake light throughout their production run.

Put it in the C4 for sale section and claim it's "rare"..That's what some of the guys on this forum do with there cars and it seems to work..I didn't know there were that many "rare" Corvettes around until I saw our for sale section.....
