Pics of Corvettes [mostly neglected] that I saw on the way to the beach
A couple of weeks ago I made a run to the beach for a few days of R&R. There are always a few Corvettes that I spot along the way. All of these were spotted in L.A. [ lower Alabama.] on the way to the Redneck Riviera.
1. This first one was still in my area code.
2.This looked like a neglected 63. I would have gotten closer, but the wife said I had better not go any closer, that I might get us shot. I got spooked and stopped and took this pic and got out of there.
3. This was a Corvette my son spotted about three years ago, but this is the first time I actually have seen it.
4.
5. This last one was the only decent one in the bunch, and it was a beauty.

Ohsixx,
Yea, years ago before my two sons grew up and we would be traveling. They would play a game and try to spot all the Corvettes and determine what year they were.

Yea, They are 36 and 32 yrs old now. They were hooked at a early age. They never had a chance.
As a hobby I like to buy and sell Corvettes. They love to find them for me, but they grieve everytime I sell one. They want to keep them all.

:sad:
It almost seems like the neglect is a rule more than than the exception. We know that's not true, but man, thos pics are horrible.

3. This was a Corvette my son spotted about three years ago, but this is the first time I actually have seen it.
Why oh why would someone paint their chrome bumper or is that just major oxidization

It looks like you get into some hairy locations to get these shots. I agree with your wife, you better wear your flak jacket!! :jester
I know if someone came onto my property and started photographing my vette, Id probably freak out.
Other than trespassing, spotting them is great fun. My vette radar is pretty good. I can spot a vette from a periferal vision glimpse, even if its behind another car it seems. Its almost a 6th sense that forces me to look!!! Id say I can spot 'em out to almost a 1/2 mile.
