I agree Marcus.....although the 66 is my year of choice. Nassau Blue would be the color though.

Well, I don't have any newer pics of the interior or engine bay(even though it's not changed since last year), but these have all been taken since this time last year. The first two may look familiar........taken Saturday at Shelton Vineyards in NC (that's even Trae driving the car) at the show we both went to. I apologize for the bra being on the car, but the Cicadas are really bad in these mountains right now, and I hate cleaning 'em off the nose! The last two I think I've posted before..........last summer on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Anyway, I'm proud of her, so I hope she stands up to the great looking cars you guys post! |

Its between 2 C3's for me Trae's 76 and DB's 77.....I remember showing my 63 Corvette and it would usually win unless there was a red Corvette against it and the red car would always win.....used to piss me off...soooo in a total act of revenge I am going to vote for Durango Boys 77. Lots of time and money spent on that car...I like it.....plus I'm a sucker for sidepipes.....
Just kidding on the revenge Trae...you got a great looking car...... |
