Just a fairly standard looking 69, but black cars with red interiors look so freaking awesome to me.
I have to agree, my 32 Coupe was the same colour combination.
Nice looking Vettes with Attitude here please

1982 I was out on tour with the rock group Genesis at just 19 and seeing all the C3's from the tour bus and hearing them rumble by is 1/3rd of the reason Corvette is the only car for me.
It was 111f in Phoenix this day.

I have experienced 120F while touring by Motorcycle.. its useless going faster to try to cool down, you just ride into a wall of scorching air.

As well as the 70's Vette it appears that Bandag did a 1982 Smokey Bear as well..
This looks like a pre-82 conversion..

Never really noticed how “meaner” the 63-67 Sting Ray looks with its lights turned round.
Mine hasn’t been driven in the dark for about 25+ years, and even then I’ve never stood in front of it with the lights open.
Think I’ll turn mine to the open position tomorrow and have a look.

If you want excess heat (but in the UK) try driving a big block Vette during our hottest days and getting caught in stop/start traffic (even with the roofs off). So much heat eminating from the front of the car and from side 'gills' that your forward view is distorted from the heat haze (a bit like this)
when you do finally move off the heat blast from under the the dash actually makes your eyes water.......
