Can you say “old school”? Who doesn’t like flames on a ‘40 Ford? Ohhh! What a combination! Check it the sneaky A/C compressor. Can you spot it? Still my favorite of the Tri-5s. Great stance and nice way to fill the wheel well. I think somebody on this forum said they liked old Rivieras? Is that the biggest motor you could fit in there? Yup! Tri-5s anyone?
A couple more plus some non Corvettes that caught my eye.
Looks like it could be Marina Blue. Looks good againstbthe red. These are all the rage these days. Love the old mills - something other than a SBC in a Street rod. I’m a big fat gendered Ford fan - especially I bright yellow. Don’t see many of these anymore.

Great! Thank you for sharing! Did you happen to see the guy that made front & rear spoilers, center console/dash as well as ground effects for the side? Looking for contact info......
Thanks for sharing. My in-laws live in Mesa and we've gone to that event a few times. The F-I-L took his home-built 1972 Grand Prix convertible there this weekend and told me he got the Homebuilt Heaven award. No, they didn't make a convertible that year so he meticulously grafted one on....a beautiful triple black car with redlines. Proof that GM should have made a convertible that year!
Wish I was there as well. Woke up to 2* this morning in southern Minnesota.
You beat me and posted the pictures...same vettes as you have...was going to upload them when I got home, here in Hereford today. A lot more C2s than I have seen in the past...alot more people too. Thanks for the pictures.

I saw that car and everybody thought is was a one of very few unheard of Grand Prix convertibles. He did such a great job, I believe he said he used some trim and stuff from a cutlass convertible. it is nice car and really well done. Glad he won!
Hey Jim, I went to the Goodguys on Friday with some neighbors. Not nearly the number of early Vettes there that day but nice turnout anyway. That Goodwood Green L79 67 Coupe with the Oregon plates is owned by a local guy in Chino Valley.
There was a very sharp 67 Maroon 400 Horse Air Coupe on hand Friday.

JLS,
You got all the ones (I think), here's one I saw in the big tent. The fellow said there's and automotive Museum on Bell Road (I think) where this car sits...It looks like the one that sold at Barrett Jackson last year....but he said they made this one at the Museum....interesting...if one was to put this thing together they would have a pristine, rust free C2 Convertable....
