Let's See Your Own Corvette Personal Favorite Photos

OK, bikes, I've had a few over the years, sold my last one in 2011, the Softail Special on the bottom, just getting a tad too old now, if I ever went down, most likely wouldn't recover....or worse.

Don't chuckle at that scooter, that's a 650cc, auto, and is fast, had it up to 105 mph once, with more throttle to go.

I had a big Yamaha for a month. Never rode it. I've never even had a motorcycle licence. LOL.
I took this one in as trade on a 1976 Pontiac Bonneville that I was trying to sell. I couldn't sell the Bonneville for many months, but a month after I took the motorcycle for the it, I sold the bike. There's always a solution. LOL.

Neat story. I was a Chief Petty Officer in the U.S. Coast Guard

That's why I told the story. I saw the stickers on your car.

Meanwhile, way back in our garden.

It must be difficult to climb in and out when the car is inside.
Are the reflectors under the taillights mandated for UK driving, or were they a personal touch?

Few pictures of the last Corvette I restored, my 1972 Ontario orange coupe with 4spd.

Nicely done on that Ontario Orange coupe. It must have cost a lot of money to import that L88 hood.

Very nice, definitely a looker........

No I bought it and fitted it in the States before I shipped the car, left the original over there.

A few before and afters!

Looking good! They are a labor of love, no doubt.

Lol, it's not actually as tight as it looks, the reflectors are part of the Euro Spec package that official imports had back in the day. Other details of a Euro Spec car included a radio that you could tune to UK/Europe frequencies, a front tow eye, amber side lights & indicators.

Nice job you wouldn’t think that was the same car

Hopefully mine won’t need that sort of work as it is only 9k on the clock now ,but that means nothing as it is a 41 year old corvette now .

WoW! Is that genuine?

Yes its a pace car replica ,got all the paper work .
It was a fresh import last year ,most are low mileage as sat around in dealerships as a showpiece.
I did see one last week on eBay USA with only 8 miles on but at a price .

That was the mileage on import

I remember seeing a couple at Barrett Jackson back in 2008 with silly low miles for under $30k, probably getting on for double that now over there.
