Many years ago a cousin bought a `74 convertible that had been repainted dark gray with hot pink flames outlined in silver. And I thought that was ugly............ He repainted it white.

It looks like the seats are also pink. Who knows, the whole interior may also be pink.

Not for me, but I guess there is a color for everyone. The main thing is that it's a Vette!

There is no way you could pick your nose in traffic in a pink 'vette. People look at you anyway because of the car you drive, but a pink 'vette, that is a statement that you want to be seen (constantly).

I reckon it looks ok. I wouldnt drive it, but it looks good.

I actually test drove this car at Kerbeck's about 1 1/2 years ago. I went to Kerbeck's to check out the new C6's and the kid who was showing me around made me test drive this one. I didn't buy a C6 that day or any other day.
