@Emc hi gavin. What colour is that?

 

[Nassau65]

Looks blue to me.

 

[Emc]

Blue will be complete in 4 weeks

 

[Nassau65]

James, I Just looked up, two blues for 72. That Bryar Blue is quite a nice colour. Not as bright a mulsanne Blue which IMO is a beautiful colour.

 

[James Vette]

@Emc cool I'm interested. Your work is the best gavin.

I am currently debating selling my 1980 C3, as I have developed a bad back, but really not sure as the car is genuinely fantastic, with exceptional bodywork and interior. I know I should sell it for the sake of my back but not sure I have the heart to. Attached are a few images just as a reference.

If you're on Facebook, add EMC. Then you can follow the builds and see all the pictures. Its quite interesting.

 

[James Vette]

I am now considering 73 and 74 corvettes.

Blue 73 454

 

[Nassau65]

I thought you definitely wanted chrome bumpers. The 1973 I can understand, but the 1974 with urethane front/back clips?? Don’t get me wrong, I like the soft front back “bumpers”

 

[James Vette]

@Nassau65 yeah but I'm sick of waiting. I can always sell it later on. I do like the 73 and 74 as second best.

 

[Nassau65]

I can understand that. But remember the old saying, “ buy in haste, repent in leisure” .

 

[James Vette]

@Nassau65 you're probably right. At least classic cars don't lose value.

Not so far.......

 

[Nassau65]

Indeed. The bubble can burst at any time. Remember the crash of 1989/90.
