I arrived at GCC early this morning in order to secure a good (read, "shaded") parking spot but this being Florida in July, it was already muggy at 8:30 am.

This is one of the few events I attend where you can have loads of fun and gain a few pounds at the same time. Just kidding!
Here are a few pics of my car, as well as Vincent Giglio's beautiful 1974 Corvette coupe. Every time I see his car it reminds me of how great the factory side pipes look on C3s. One of these days I will have to get a set.
Enjoy the photos.

| Above: If you've been following my blog for a while you know by now that I love my '76 Stingray and, therefore, I keep posting photos of it, even though you've seen enough of it. |

| Above: Not as dark as my Stingray's shade of red but also a non-factory color. |

| Above: OEM side pipes look right on C3s or any vintage. |
 |
| Above: Pretty stock other than for the aftermarket steering wheel, radio, and cup holder. |
 |
| Above: I've always liked this nose emblem a lot better than mine. And one of the reasons why the one on my car is gone. |

| Above: '74s had a functional cowl induction system. |

Thanks for following my '76 Vette Blog!
