Ready? ......... Go! ....

flyboy

I'd be happy to drive any of them, but I have to go with Joe's car. I've always thought that was a striking color. And the engine looks like a work of art. Add in all the little details he has added that are not evident from the photos, and it is a special car.

biggrizzly

Supercharged 383 '91 convertible. Add that color combo with chrome wheels. It doesn't get much better than TommyT-Bone's FASTIE.

Big Griz!

Here is how I had it broke out. C4 was Big Griz and Flyboy but I had to go with BG's interior as the tie breaker. Although Joe's car is perfect. C5's was TB and Volzfan but as I learned early in life the red car always wins so TB's gets my vote there. C6 was JDtireman because his was the only one entered I believe and the same with Trea76 for the C3's.

Then there was Andrew's and Steve's 40th.........hell, everybody's a winner!

I vote for:

Any of them could sit in my garage.

Ya know, my top 3 are the top 3 posts. And Steve's. So that would be top 4. I guess I like that color and didn't even realize it.

The blown convertable is nice but it's a convertable. The "other" Tom's C5 is gorgeous but without extra ponies it's nice but not enough to win. I know what Don's got going on under the hood but...those stripes. Ugh. ;) Steve's is HOT but an automatic? Not sure if that can win, either.

And so my vote goes to...

Andrew.

I love yellow with black rims. And clearly that thing will RUN.

It really is a tough decision which car to pick! They ALL are great. I love TBs seats, Love the color of Steve's 40th, Flyboys engine is bad ass! Andrew's yellow it awesome and I have always loved yellow cars. Both of Tommy's are well perfect in the paint department now and look great! Brad's engine is spotless and I know what it takes to keep it like that. Mine is clean, but his puts mine to shame. Trae1976, what a nice C3... Oh and SpectatorRacing has the coolest photo!

So... you see what kind of dilema I'm in! I would indeed like to pick them all

I have to do this for real next weekend and its a lot harder in person with the real car and owner right in from of you!!

I'll be back later with some more deciding power!

BTW, my vote can be bought. I accept CC and PP, and C4 parts. Until Tommy locks the post I will edit away...

BillH's C2 is my favorite, good picture too

followed by Ultraman's warehouse shot and SpectatorRacing action shot.

The Vette I'd love to put in my Garage, next to my beater is the dark green from 95Vert and Tommy's dark red beauty.

What the heck I'll take'm all, need a ship to address?

I'll have to vote for Big Grizzly, I love his car...kind of reminds me of my 94. But like everyone else has posted, I'd take any of them.

My votes:
C3 Trae 1976 - love the underhood details
C4 Andrew - I guess I'm a little biased towards yellow vettes, but that is a gorgeous car
C5 Volzfan - I'm not a fan of silver vettes, but that car is a good reason to reconsider
C6 - Gotta go with mine (especially since it's the only one)

Geez .... Talk about an indecisive lot.


There can be only one ............ Pick ONE

Great Pick..

This has NOT been easy... I am not kidding...

As a group, this is an impressive bunch. I know that some of got more $$ in theirs than others, but that does not diminish the passion and desire all owners showed. You should ALL be proud of your rides!!!! Hold head high and show that love!

With that saying, I must vote... and it means that by the tightest of margins...

My vote goes to: biggrizzly

The entire package just works for me. Tommy, your 91 vert is a close 2nd. After that, it gets so hard to pick. I love the Yellow LT4... all the older TPI cars that are in clean stock condition... damn... This was the hardest car show I have ever had to judge.

Mostly because I vote the love... I did a car show last year where I selected the top 2 Corvettes. The winner was a seriously custom 54. Serious custom, but the owner, an older fellow, did a lot of the work himself. Very hands on.

2nd went to a woman who daily drove a 61 roadster! It was beat, the paint, icky, the seats flat. But ya know something? It was LOVED. And it beat out this dude with a blinged out C6, with it's maggy and funky stripe job... all done by checkbook.

What makes this show so tough? I know that we ALL pour our love into it.

We are having a Labor Day show! Perfect way to wrap up the summer, and, maybe even a New Years Day show, so we can have a little summer warmth during the dead of winter!

I am thinking that the only rule being that prior winners cannot be judged again. Thoughts?

As we grow as a site, we will have classes... I think this time out there is only a winner... and a bunch tied for 2nd.

I do have a prize - the winner will get a signed Corvette Racing poster!

Excellent - congrats, Don! I love that interior, too - was showing it to the Mrs. yesterday while I was drooling.

Check out some of these show highlights

Voting is still open till tomorrow evening 6/1/11 08:00PM EST . Get out the vote.

I really want to vote, but there are just too many beautiful and well cared for Corvettes to just pick one. Let me know if I you need a tie breaker, otherwise it has been great to see everyone's rides.

Honorable mention

OK... As everyone else has stated, this is really a tough decision. They all look so good!

I'm still wishy washy as I type this but my Vote goes to Flyboy
His car is clean as pin, has a great color, and an awesome looking motor. I love the valve covers too. I think they won me over.


Steve40th was my second choice by paint color. I don't think that is the factory ruby red as it seems to glow more than the others I have seen.

My third pick would be Pianoguy Brad just because his engine is so damn clean. I know if the engine is that clean, the rest of it must be too. I also like the black paint and the nice photos!

Great Job to everyone that entered!!

And of course, the one and only BillH and his grocery getter .....

Won't pass tech, it's not a full quart.

That was my "beer gut" phase, it seems to be gone now.
I'd rather have my yellow one at the track though, it's way faster.

Each and every vette here has something spectacular about it. I'd be proud to call any one of them mine.

Having to choose just one though.....I'd have to say Andrew's LT4

Quote:

LOL

My wife insists that my ass has relocated to my stomach.
Apparently I once had a very shapely ass!

Okay, I've spent enough time looking and trying to decide.
I really, really like TeeBee's C5 (kinda partial to them, you know). I'm probably obligated to vote for Trae (not that it would not be worthy, it certainly is, and I should know )

But my official vote goes to biggrizzly. That car is a perfect example of the pride and passion that we all have for our Vettes! Well done!

Hope I'm not to late, just got home from work.

Anyway, I'd be happy with any of these. Love Biggrizzly's interior, can't go wrong with a FI in a Vert like Tommy, one of the best colors like that Ruby of Steves40th, pristine condition of Pianoguy's LT4, hmmm, I'm finding something I like about each.... I need a combination of each Vette listed!

So, if I have to pick one, I'm an all business guy, so my vote goes to Spectatorracing.

If my wife could live without the creature comforts of my yellow bomb, it would go on a diet and be of similar style.

I sure had one helluva time trying to pick ONE out of all these beautiful cars. WOW !!!! Tommy thanks for giving me an honorable mention, that was pretty cool! Seeing as I couldn't totaly make up my mind, I am going against the grain and giving the, it wasn't easy, 2 that I liked moreso half a vote. Maybe a tie breaker or maybe a disqualification. For me Biggrizz and pianoguy fit the bill, both nice paint and detailed engines WOW!!! My honorable mention is Steve40th, I love that color!!! That is the color I want to use next year when I get mine painted. Awesome looking cars guys!!! Mark

At the halfway point the voting stands

I'll use a tiebreaker if needed. Voting is still open. Let your voice be heard.

OMG, you guys make me weep! But... as they say, It's not over 'til the Phat Lady Sings!!! and never count your chickens until they hatch!

Thanks to all the guys that have voted, I know its hard to decide. There are some awesome cars displayed here this weekend. I hope it does as well at the "physical" car show this weekend coming up!!

Very Tough Decision...They're all sweet rides!
I've seen and heard Andrews car up close and in person, and it's just an awesome machine!

But, in the end I've got to go with biggrizzly...
That car is my motivation to get mine in better shape!!

I'm going to have to vote for Joe (flyboy) I think it's the TPI botherhood or something to do with the fact that it is so clean.

This has been a tough decision. My vote is for Biggrizzly. I'm liking the stripes on the white car more and more.

Last call for voting. Polls close in 10 minutes.

Voting is now closed .....
