| My
1977 Corvette Stingray. (C3) |
|
I sold my
beloved Corvette in March 2008. Needed the money for Home improvements.
I still look at the empty space in my garage and wonder if I did the right
thing..
I really
loved that car..

Corvette and Me! -Looks great from 10 feet away. Looks especially good in
the early evenings when there is no direct sunlight. |
The
C3 Corvette design was inspired from the Stuffed Mako
Shark GM's Design chief Bill Mitchell mounted on his office wall. Hence
the name Shark |

is the first photo of the corvette I took. |
Another
great thing about the '77 design was that it was the last year of the flat
rear window. The chrome luggage rack holds the T-Tops or a small bag. |

| Other
classic car owners wave or give me a thumbs up on our saturday or midnight
drives. When I drive it, people are very respectful and dont cut or tailgate.
I get a lot of stares (the car does atleast). Great fun to drive. |
