This Fuelie belongs to my good friend Jack Clark. I visited him Monday. I saw pictures of his car before* but never actually saw it in person. Pictures do not do this car justice. It's absolutely gorgeous to see and jaw dropping to hear run.

Though I don't love american cars, it's imposible not to agree this is an absolutely gorgeous car. I love the colour.

[Matra et Alpine]

WOW!
Favourite 'vette :)

Is it a show only car or used regulalry ?

I share the same view. I don't really get attracted to many American cars but this is just too sexy to deny.

[VtecMini]

One of the few bits of Americana that I like. Stunning condition too!

It's a show car but he does drive it. He spent over $150,000 restoring it. I wouldn't drive it at all if I had that much invested in it. It's a very rare car. It has an off road exhaust.

Can't say I like the baby blue, but apart from that, it's just crack for the petrolhead's eyes

[Egg Nog]

What a beater ;)

Absolutely gorgeous - very good shape too. How often does he drive it?

[6speed]

I think it's ugly. Sorry to ruin the mood. I just hate Vettes.

[IWantAnAudiRS6]

Love the colour, undecided on the model. I preferred the ones with the gargantuan V8s and performance packages. Just me :)

Still a lovely car in its own right.

As you can tell I'm biased toward Corvette's. I've loved them all my life. It's history is rich of success and failure. But the Corvette engineers were prosistant to bring the Corvette to exotic status in it's performance.
Look pass the color and go to the lines of the car. The attention to detail is incredible.

btw
I still don't understand why you would post if you don't like the topic of a thread. Do you think anyone wants to know if you dislike something? It serves no purpose. Some things are better left unsaid.

Everyone has their own opinion, and should be free to express it- fair?

You may have noticed that a lot of people didn't reply at all- this can be because they are avoiding pissing on your bonfire.

I personally thought it was natty :)

I just said what was on my mind. Sorry bro.

[cmcpokey]

cant beat the first 2 generations of Corvettes. I was a die hard corvette fan until the C5 came out. These early ones are the reason I loved them so much.

Am I missing something here?
The C5 is worlds better than any previous vette.

I fell in love with the Corvette back in the 70's. The styling cues were much more distinctive. What I like about the new Z06 is that the finders resemble that of the C3. I still don't like the hatch back look. But I will over look it given the chance to own one.

it just didnt appeal to me... it lost the small and lithe look. it always looked overweight, and poorly styled. the C6 improved a ton, and i love it, but it will never compare to those early ones.

A FRC C5 weighs 3150 if im not mistaken and have u seen the car up close or pictures? My favorite is the 63 split window but that cars pretty nice. Also the C5 compared to a late 70's model looks tiny and alot more refined.

[pAinTrAin]

Thats a 59 right? I used to live next door to a guy that had one in Orange, with the removeable hardtop, sexy cars!
