I can't remember the last time I saw a Corvette, good to know there's some driving around.

Spotted a white C5 convertible on Pittwater Rd, Collaroy, on Sunday 27th December.

Just another of the Northern Beaches Vettes that aren't in the Club?

Spotted in Detroit, GM showroom floor.

I spotted these along my trip down Route 66 August last year.

That bottom camaro looks very interesting. Road racer perhaps?

Marina Blue midyear with rear spoiler moulded into the body. I was on a bus so didn't get the best look, I think it also had a modified front end.

I know a lot of C2's had C3 type front and rear mods. The number plate would suggest it had a 454 engine.

Spotted around Artarmon freeway just after midday, it headed south and into the harbour tunnel.

Sam Barber's 1963 Grand Sport replica lives in the Chatswood area:

Sam also has a blue C2 with a 454 in it, so it might have been his that you saw.

It could very well have been, there was no mistaking the number plate, a mixture of numbers and letters for '454'.

Nice replica he has by the way.

Did he have to import the front clip or was it fabricated here?

gtc · « **Reply #13 on:** April 30, 2012, 09:50:05 AM »

I don't know about the front clip, but he fitted the hood here. Last time I saw the car (~ 6 months ago or so) he was fitting lenses over the headlights.

I guess he could've just had the side scoops changed from 66 to 63.

Yeah this was a common mod back in the day, they'd remove the pop-up lights and have them permanently visible with either round or square lamps.

Yes, that's the sort of covers he was having fitted.

(PS: Need to edit your post above and fix the image link)

Spotted at a warehouse in Matraville, fresh off the docks.

I wonder if they'll ping him for a steam clean.

I'd say a distinct possibility LOL!!
