Corvette Garage

[ScottyVetteGuy]

Garage looks great (and so do your Corvettes!) I had an '88 Convertible a few years ago but sold it. My daughter's used to call it "The Barbie Car"

At least it wasn't pink....

I would have to chalk that up as coincidental. In my earlier years I was quite involved with Corvettes having owned 5 and having worked at a place called Corvette Auto Parts. I think the round taillights that first appeared on the '61 were copying Ferrari and other Euro sports cars. I hated to see them go after such a long time. But even Ferrari has moved on.

I do know for fact that the C6 taillights were designd with the inspiration of afterburners of a fighter jet. Whether it's true or not for the C7, it is a nice coincidence.

The garage and cars look great Scotty. Very nice Grand Sport. I also have a 96 which is not a Grand Sport but does have the LT4 option. Always wanted an early C3 but that 96 is a great car to drive. I have also reached my capacity for cars. Kind of wish I was the type who found it easy to sell stuff so I could look for another but I just seem to hold onto things forever..

Thank you very much, my 96 grand sport is my favorite car I can't bring myself to sell any of my cars either . You still in your Vette?

Nice cars and garage, floor is a nice improvement. I've had 12 Corvettes over the years, but seeing the C7 made me get back in the club! C7 is No. 13

Are you liking the new C7?

I love the garage and REALLY love the garage.
I couldn't afford a real Corvette and need back seats for my little boys. I love the Grand Sport, so I made my own. 85 GMC S15 Jimmy with LT1, AWD, LS1 brakes, C5 wagon wheels, etc

I absolutely love the new C7. I really think they did an outstanding job on this car. The attention it gets everywhere we go is incredible truthfully I can only think of one other thing that makes me curl my toes other than driving this car

I really like what you did with your Jimmy looks very cool.
Obviously I'm a big grand sport fan myself. I never dreamt I would actually own one of the thousand GS built.

This past weekend was the Corvettes at Carlisle event.
150 acres of nothing but Corvettes, lots of awesome stuff to see there including this C7 Grand sport tribute.

And I found this little gem in the Swapmeet area, it was made just for my garage

Oh and I thought this was particularly cool, in the NCRS display was this 1972 gold Corvette that appeared in the Apollo 13 movie. Beyond its appearance in the movie this car is a multi award-winning car

Nice day today

I attended the Corvettes for Chip charity Corvette show today at Thomas Chevy in Media, PA. What a beautiful day we had. I took both my C7 and C4 Grand Sport. To my surprise I won first place for both cars!
I've never won anything before at a car show... And today I won two first places in the stock category's!


A few pictures from the day and a few cars that caught my eye






I like the his and hers ZR1's.




The picture doesn't give it justice the paint was amazing. Moss green.



A very cool rest-o-mod that won best in show. The car sounded amazing!




My, now, award winning cars on display...

Very cool garage and a great thread. I subscribed. I would love to have another one to go with my 66
