Features Corvette hot rods - picture thread

I'd do the last one, with the diamonds outlined in black. And maybe on clear glass.

 

Looks like a typical Saturday night at Irwindale.

 

Moriarty, the changes to the interior (including and especially the grab bar) look really good. As for the trunk emblem I am a fan of the crossed flags. I would like to see you keep the crossed flags. When I bought my black 62 in 1977 the guy removed the emblem altogether and put the crease in its place. I sold the trunk lid as soon as I could and bought another one I could put the emblem in. Maybe that is still rolling around in my head.

 

I like the diamonds Mark. What would it look like if the red ones were black like your mats?

 

I was out at the Vintage Fall race at Lime Rock Park in CT, they had a Corvette displayI took some pictures of them.

Pulled the engine out of mine today.

 

I am watching this on Netflix. Episode #6 has the Precious Vette 57 Corvette Dragcar and the owner who started racing it in 1966.

 

Enloe, I watched and enjoyed that as well. I've been acquainted with Larry Mallicone for about fifty years and I've seen that car compete dozens of times. Since the passing of some of our shared friends, I'd lost contact with Larry. It was good confirming that he's still a player. For what it's worth, Larry also had a hand in the power-train development of the infamous, highly competitive "Big Red" '69 Camaro road racer.

 

I believe that this is Baron’s old car.

NICE!!!!!!!!!

 

Real? Scam? Don’t know. It was someone’s old vette hot rod.

 

That's a lot of cabbage.

 

Wow $30,000 seems a bit optimistic IMO. If it was an old drag car with history-maybe. With the cost of restoring these cars to even a nice hot rod standard ends up costing a few bucks. Good luck to the seller.

 

Ask'n and get'n are two different things!
