This is THE original prototype for the C2 Corvette. It was at the Great Hall at Pheasant Run in 012 I think. Great show. Last time there. It has moved to Champagne Illinois. In the background is one of the L-88 Racecars.
Badass AND historical!

That looks awesome. Legitimately looks like a stingray
In 1959, the bones of the SS were revived when Bill Mitchell secretly funded the Stingray race car. Mitchell purchased the chassis of the 1957 SS race car mule for $500 and had a design team create a new body.
Fouranado in the flesh. My buddy, who is a bit on the not so tactful side asked how much Frank bought the car for. I shot him a look, and Frank was like, "Um, you don't ask that." Fantastic car. Really neat.
My Daily driver. 2011 Taurus SHO. Livernois tune, lowered an inch, AirRaid Airbox, Corsa exhaust, 450 hp. Corners and runs like a scalded dog. My friend who I lent it to over a weekend because he needed some wheels said, "This car could get you in a LOT of trouble, FAST!"

I think the blue line tires are awesome looking. That car is really just crazy.
My 67 Vette. Numbers matching 427 tripower 4 speed,a/c,head rests, side pipes and bolt on wheels.
Beautiful W-30 Rag.Big, Big fan of these cars. Judge or no. I know they are the detuned variety but the styling is nearly over the top but not quite. Honeycomb wheels and the BIG front end. Just love 'em!I will own one some day. Just not today.
So a few years ago I was at a family gathering and of course talk turned to cars. My Father in law expressed an interest in getting into a drop top sixties car. He had worked for Ford his whole life so I figured he would want a suicide door Lincoln. He said no, he wanted a Cadillac! He said, "The first one without fins." I said that would be 65. I got him into the car at a good price. Long story long, I was driving my Vette down a local road and see him coming toward me in his drop top Caddy. He saw me and we passed each other going opposite ways. I waved and so did he. Here's the point. This guy was 80 at the time. He had the biggest shit eatin grin on his face you couldn't get off with a crowbar. I made him so happy with that car. He would go play golf at his local club and he said that every guy in the lot wanted that car. All his friends were jealous as hell. They were all driving Beemers, Mercs, etc, and they wanted HIS car. Here's a picture of him with the car4 summers ago. It's since been sold because his driving skills had deteriated. I drove it as a DD for the next summer. What a great car. I was sooo happy to make him happy like that. I would take care of all the maintenance on it and just had him driving it. Great car, great guy, great story. I love him.
It's one of my most fond memories of things involving him. He's still around and sharp too. Just not driving anymore.
They had like30 Hemi Ragtops at the beginning of the hall at the MCACN in Chicongo last year. This is a show you don't want to miss.
Vette is sold and gone! The car transporter smoked the clutch by trying to get it up this ramp in third gear while not releasing the clutch all the way. I yelled at him to stop. You're in third you knucklehead! There was smoke pouring from the inspection cover. I was eye level with it so I saw it firsthand. WTH! New owner said it was OK. I thought it would be because the clutch only had about 3k on it. Even so, these guys just suck. And I can say that for the majority of them. Every time I ship something they eff it up somehow. Like when the guy came for my Harley but couldn't ride it up the ramp! I asked him what his manifest said. I said it read, Harley Davidson Motorcycle. What, did he think it was a bicycle? I had to drive a half hour one way to load the damn thing. Then he asked me who would be there to unload it in Fla. I told him nobody should be there, it's his responsibility! Turns out my wife's Uncle unloaded the bike for me. Effin A!
Well, one is always better then none. With all these pictures of different cars, I'm getting that itch to find another ride!
