Don't knock toyota's they're good cars. My hilux has done 550klms and still going strong. But for 15 grand I'd rather buy your vette!

Those of you who have been around for a while will remember the same sort of fuss erupted at and after the melbourne convention....judging is a thankless painful task but if it isn't done voluntarily it doesn't get done at all.....everybody is convinced they have the best looking vette....at least performance is easiest to test....you go fastest you are the best without any possibility of argument....what looks best varies a lot....i love the look of my dark brown 74r....by the total lack of any trophies,no one else likes it.But hey,i don't give a stuff what anyone else thinks,i like it just fine.I do not need external approbation and accolades to validate my choice of vehicle.;35;35;35;34

i tally agree....in the 7 mths i had my 74 i loved it,took to 3 shows and got a 2nd and a first place....
they collecting dust on my cupboard as we speak...
did i deserve the troheys? not my call...i didnt judge them.but i CAN say is the first place trophey had 5 vettes entered.....along with the other makes.....it won BEST CAR....70-75.....
i didnt really look at the other makes that much,so will compare against the other vettes....
mine had a nice engine bay,average interior,and a perfect paint job in white.....
compared to for arguments sake my buddies 69' 427/400hp coupe...
his interior....BRAND NEW ORIGINAL STYLE....
but his body and paint no where near the quality of mine....
another buddies 73....
NEW ENGINE bay ..custom interior, with home made digital dash,and new fiberglass surrounds to replace the originals....
IMHO ....they were BOTH better on the inside,with the 73 having the best engine bay....
but depending on WHO'S judging is to what the see.....
i will post a couple of pics of the cars involved.....i know which car i would have chosen to win.....
mine (being white helps) STANDS out far more than the other cars......first views sometimes last the longest.....mint body and paint v's excellant interior and engine bay may not help much in the long term of winning points....
my 74.....
the 73 interior......HE MADE HIMSELF.....
the 69.....
nifty:
what looks the best? you may say the 69 looks fantastic.....but what you CANT see is the scratches (touched up with wrong brown shade)and the hole in the rear tail from transport ex usa....(patched up with duct tape)
must also be mentioned that the 69 is NOT ready for the road......its not being driven as yet,except for this wedding that we had 4 vettes in....he got a permit to do so,but the car will not see rego until it is completed with the reapairs to body done and a new paint job....
