Default C8 Fordite


Just wanted to share one of my favorite brithday presents I have recieved in years. This is a piece of Fordite, paint overspray that has hardened and been polished to make a cool trinket. That alone wouldn't warrent sharing it here, but this is a special piece. This piece is not only from Bowling Green, it is a new piece created from overspray from some of the very first C8's to roll off the line.

Hopefully this will help me get through the next 6 or so months until my C8 arrives.

There was a lady selling these as Jewelry at Corvettes at Carlisle.
My wife bought two necklaces pendants in shades of our cars colors.
Expensive, but she like those things.....
If I knew what case she keeps them in, I'd take a photo..
Its nice that yours are of the first C8 colors !
