Corvette Nationals 2021

[Nassau65]

You need a Stetson. ( and a moustache)

 

[Chuffer]

I already have a trans am shirt so I got a CCCUK hat and my american flag bandana is for driving a V8.

I never cease to be amazed .

That’s what makes life interesting

Bingo.

 

[James Vette]

Right I'm off to the honky tonk for beer!

Done damn dang it Deputy Dog , you done bin gone done it again boy !

 

[Chuffer]

That’s what makes life interesting

I think I would rather me a little less amazed sometimes .

 

[James Vette]

At the nationals. Not sure about white though.

 

[Chuffer]

Where`s the Corvette ? Did I miss something .

 

[Nassau65]

Not my favourite colour for a Trans Am, but with the red interior and T-Tops it does look nice. Of course the Black /Gold is immortalised on film, but some of the other colours are fantastic.

 

[Derek Nicol]

That white Trans Am is a little bit confusing.. says 1979 on the W reg 1980/81 plate and has a 77/78 nose.
Nice but confusing.

 

[Nassau65]

In those days, imported vehicles got the latest registration at the time of registering . So if a 1977 car was registered in 1981, it got a W reg. this practice went on for decades.

 

[Nassau65]

You can apply to the DVLA to have a age related plate applied to your car. Many owners have done this, I have also done it a few times.

 

[James Vette]

I'm 50/50 on the red snowflake rims.

 

[Nassau65]

They are not factory correct. Colour coded snowflakes were only available on the firebirds “birds of colour” series. Skybird blue inserts, redbird red inserts and yellowbird yellow inserts. On those models they looked nice.
It’s also missing the Trans Am wing/fender decals under the vents, and I think a nose T/A decal

 

[Nassau65]

And Decals made a Trans Am.

 

[Nassau65]

My dad was once driving a 79 T/A up to Newcastle, and the Phoenix suddenly flew off the hood. He noticed it lifting on one edge then whoosh it was gone.

 

[James Vette]

My dad was once driving. 79 T/A up to Newcastle, and the Phoenix suddenly flew off the hood. He noticed it lifting on one edge then whoosh it was gone.

It finally got to fly.

 

[Derek Nicol]

It finally got to fly.

Briefly!..
the driver of the truck following him got a surprise when a Phoenix splattered itself across his windscreen.

 

[Nassau65]

I remember the replacement cost a LOT of money. Had to be proper GM, no aftermarket copies in those days, and of course no internet. Ordered it from Lendrum and Hartman.
