Best paint job on a car ever

And that’s the only time you’ll ever phonetically hear “Mako” and “Great paint job” in the same sentence.

I’m an unsophisticated heathen in that I like having a no-bumper fiberglass nose with the boat tail rear and permanent headlights if possible. Thus, I am he of the Greenwoods and ‘73s-only fetish.

Agreed

I really need to get some better pictures on my phone though

Its a good looking vette.

It’s no split window though.

A slushbox can be fun, too! > JR1 02/08/2016 at 14:32

Agree. I would like to replicate that on any car

Is it terrible that I actually like the late c3?

Like, one of these with an LS/6-speed swap would be delicious...

And maybe some better wheels... Like these Wheel Vintiques 17" Rallys:

Corvettes that look better than a C3:

get rid of that ugly hood and I would agree with you.

Redlines and maroon paint?

You sir, are correct.

To most Corvette purists, that car is disgusting looking.

This is the truth. ‘69 ‘Vette above all.

You have to be kidding me how can you not like that paint job?

You might be a little unsophisticated but I will let it slide.

Holy crap. That thing looks awesome. I love the paint job!

And it is all the better for it!

Late C3s I like. It is the middle bit that I am not a huge fan of.

There isn’t exactly a bad looking Vette. But we will have to disagree here

Power bulge hood is nice but not necessary to complete the C3 package

my dad’s had it for like 30 years, he’s giving it to me though since he literally never drives it. and i love the paint job too, my dad had it painted since this was a project car for him. there’s a good story about the paint job too that i should post to oppo sometime.

Just needs some white letter tires in the same size is all.

Something about the big bumper and flying buttresses doesn't fit all that well, stylistically. The 78-82 cars are far better looking than 74-77

I agree. And if you drop a big engine in you will have yourself a monster

I’ll get some when it comes out of hibernation...it’s tucked in a shed and covered right now, being winter here in Wisconsin and all.

My Z is in hibernation too right now, what with all the salt on the BC roads for the winter... however it’s going up for sale this summer, I’m looking for old muscle :D

Vette fans seem to rag on the C3 a lot, but I love them to bits.

It’s a shame they made so little power. Good job on the emissions laws, America.

I know! At least the 68/72 had power

Green over black

Green over tan

I think I like the tan better. Both look great though

The black one has had it’s air conditioning upgraded to take R134a, but “just needs a recharge; the tan one just says AC is “currently not functioning”.

The seats in the tan one look far more sumptuous for some reason, but the floor carpeting seems a lot more worn/discoloured.

Realistically it all depends on the condition of the floor boards and undercarriage and neither have underneath shots :P
