Folks, I've seen a ton of cars in my lifetime, but I gots to tell ya, this has to be one of, if not THE most beautiful Corvettes on the planet. We(Mama & I) went out to the Lone Star Corvette Club show today. This is probably one of the largest Corvette shows in the U.S., and out of all of the 'Vettes I saw, this is the ONLY one I wanted a pic. of. The pics just do not do it justice. Very nice, very detailed, no "Bubba" in sight!! See if ya'll agree...

Thats a pretty hot number there. Great pics but I would like to see more interior and engine pics. Thanks for taking them.

Corvettes and women are the same...You want to make love to them but they keep breaking down.

Yes, I'll agree. That is a great paint job. The car as a whole was "executed" nicely when they built it. Kind of curious how much time and money went into it.

The color is a Candy red, and it was absolutely flawless. Not a swirl mark/scratch anywhere. They had a small trailer behind it, like a motorcycle trailer, and it was painted the same.
I had a real hard time getting any pics, due to the number of people always around it.
The interior was completely stock, as far as looks, and it looked as good as the outside...perfect!!
Maybe someone else around here(D/FW) got some more shots of it over the weekend.

Vette(s): 1975 C3 Red, T-Tops, Black Interior. All I need is time and money! Getting there!

The rockers got my attention. Interesting pattern. I also took note of the trim and details under the hoods. Quite a few changed there, but nicely done.

I have to agree, it's a real beauty.
