Nice looking Vettes with Attitude here please

[Derek Nicol]

Just a fairly standard looking 69, but black cars with red interiors look so freaking awesome to me.

I have to agree, my 32 Coupe was the same colour combination.

Always liked red interiors. As you say, looks very striking with black.

1982 I was out on tour with the rock group Genesis at just 19 and seeing all the C3's from the tour bus and hearing them rumble by is 1/3rd of the reason Corvette is the only car for me.

It was 111f in Phoenix this day.

I have experienced 120F while touring by Motorcycle.. its useless going faster to try to cool down, you just ride into a wall of scorching air.

Where was I in 82 ? Being young free and single again after a bitter divorce , I was in a vaporous cloud of alcohol most of the time . And girls , girls, girls !

I experienced a max of 113 F in southern Spain in the early 70`s whilst touring around central Europe with mates in our converted Commer Van . That was chuffin` hot and you can imagine how the old Commer those temps . Not !

Commer Coffin.

Commer Coffin.

I took medicine to stop me coffin as it had useless brakes !

As well as the 70's Vette it appears that Bandag did a 1982 Smokey Bear as well..

This looks like a pre-82 conversion..

Racing improves the breed, so they say...

Never really noticed how “meaner” the 63-67 Sting Ray looks with its lights turned round.

Mine hasn’t been driven in the dark for about 25+ years, and even then I’ve never stood in front of it with the lights open.

Think I’ll turn mine to the open position tomorrow and have a look.

 

[Nassau65]

Quite like this one.

The 67 B/B hood helps the attitude look, along with the black paint.

That’s not C2 front suspension

 

[Nassau65]

Probably why it looks mean.

If you want excess heat (but in the UK) try driving a big block Vette during our hottest days and getting caught in stop/start traffic (even with the roofs off). So much heat eminating from the front of the car and from side 'gills' that your forward view is distorted from the heat haze (a bit like this)

when you do finally move off the heat blast from under the the dash actually makes your eyes water.......

 

[Chuffer]

Take some sausages and burgers next time Ross and have a BBQ in the way .

Just saw this one, looks a bit of a monster. I would prefer it without the blower, but it does look pretty impressive.

Paintwork looks superb.

I love the front light set up on this one.

Looks soo much cleaner without a blower poking out through the hood spoiling the lines of the front.

Its them crazy Antipodeans again.. they do some amazing stuff down under.. like the Merlin engined 55 Chevy for example.
