Exactly my 1st thought when l saw it......mine is nowhere near as pristine or valuable but l park it at the far end of the parking lots if l ever go to the store in it.

VERY nice looking car though, his reg should be KERMIT & not A BIG BLOCK\

Wow, nice looking car! a very brave owner - If it was mine it would have been way ,way over in that quiet corner of the parking lot, away from swinging doors, shopping trolleys and children!

Looks beautiful. However, I'm nervous just looking at the parking spot.

Nice! I too share the concerns others above have about the parking lot. I would’ve, at the very least, hunted down an end/corner spot for a little door protection.

Look at console plate. Is it authentic? Other console plates show the 454 smaller with 4 categories. Displacement, hp, torque and compression ratio.

that is one beautiful vette, not picking it apart but I prefer the luggage rack back farther. maybe because it was on my 72.
