Default Stuart Florida Car Show Pics

Just got back and thought I would share some of the pics.
Here's a really nice 97-99. I like the color combination



This gorgeous 61 is a daily driver and has 250,000 miles on it.



This was called a Cobra-Vette. I think its a C3 chassis. Has anyone ever seen one of these?



Here is the emblem from the front of the Cobra-Vette



I owned the identical car to this back in the 70's



Tuff looking Grand Sport

WOW! Years ago, I saw a red 1963 Vette convertible with that kind of mileage at a local car show. But it didn't look nearly as good as the car you photographed.

Thanks for the pics!

I am guessing that it had the original Vette engine, but have no way of knowing.
