Nice looking Vettes with Attitude here please

[Chuffer]

I know it was the late 70’s and the custom craze was full on, but I always thought that the Corvette in corvette summer was hideous. A real monstrosity.

It`s gross , hidious , naff , pug ugly . Have I missed anything else out ?

This chrome bumper stingray seems to have it all.
Custom paint
Monster motor through the hood
Flared arches
Side pipes
Chrome wire wheels

What else could 70’s man want?

 

[Nassau65]

Possibly
A gold identity bracelet
A krugerrand on a chain or gold 1oz ingot
A nice gold watch.

Nice.

Add some gross reflecting sunglasses, really tight 'strides', high heeled boots and long sideburns - gold watch has to be something hugely oversized!

Watches weren’t that big in the 70’s, at least mine wasn’t ( still got it by the way, along with the ID and the ingot/rand I’m sorry to say.)
Won’t fit into the “strides” anymore, and can’t imagine walking or driving in those platforms.
Platforms were gone before I became a 70’s man wannabe.

Used to love wearing the cowboy boots - so comfortable and good with extra long jeans..........now its only girlies that wear 'em

Still got mine too, although it's a little too discreet for the '70's.

Less is always very much more.......excepting 'dodgy' watch bracelets (perhaps)

Still got 12 pairs of cowboy boots, all different skin ones and leather. Still wear a pair of “Justin’s “ plain brown leather with jeans
