Corvettes

Yes, there's one of them lying around, too:

In case you can't tell, it's a '73: cool car.

Ever since I was a kid I've loved these cars. In high school I'd make amazingly detailed drawings of them, and always the early C3s with the bobbed tails (the energy-absorbing bumpers were still a couple of years in the future). It amazes me everytime I see this in the garage.

Here are a few more photos, outside and in:

This is one of my favorite photos, taken the day I bought it: doens't it look like something out of James Bond, something like a dragon in Jamaica?

• G.M. color code 945, "Blue-Green" (it's really very green, but not the green of that year)
• 46,300 miles (spring 2010) [do I really need to say "original" miles?]
• 350 c.i.
• All numbers match

Lebanon Valley GM Day, 2010

Morning set-up: displayed in front of the TriVettes booth.

Getting new paint over the winter of 2009-2010!

When the paint was stripped there was significant deteoriation in the body below the luggage rack, so it did not go back on.
