I've never had the opportunity to travel to Bloomington or any of the big Vette shows, so I always appreciate when someone posts pictures and describes the shows. It sounds like a lot of fun!!

What was this guy thinking? I'm trying to picture in thought process which could have lead to this car being mutilated to this degree..... "Hmmm, I have a midyear. Why not slap a big-azz ricer-style tail on it! Yeah, then maybe a set of wheel flares! Oh baby!!"

The front is stock :confused: From the front the only thing to show any mods is the flares. Also note the six tail lights. But I do like that V-12 motorcycle :eek:

I just took a closer look (shudder!! :( ) and there's a cellular antenna just above the gas cap!

The V12 bike looked cool but what was it doing at a Vette show??? :confused:

It belonged to a vendor of used Vette parts. He had it and a couple of others that he had brought along just to show off.
