This is my 7th Corvette that I have owned. I've had it for almost a year now. Pretty much stock except for LED side markers, cold air intake, and custom stripes which you can see in the picture.

I also have about 500hp 1970 C10. I know it is not a Corvette, but it is still a Chevrolet and in the 500hp club. Loud as hell and fun to drive with a massive cam. LOL!

I, Doug Jones, approve of this message, and anyone's decision to get a 427 Vert. This was paid for by the coalition to "Haul Ass"

It is somewhere near Wellsville, on 417, or Corning up towards Bath?

Very happy with mine as well.

I like how you filled in the side markers and got rid of the vent windows on the C-10.:thumbs:

Do I see a guy in the pass seat without a shirt on? Must be a CA thing... LMAO :leaving:

LMAO! That is actually my wife and she was getting some sun. It does look like a guy though in the picture. Stupid camera angles. :lol:

Tim, what happened to the 427 badges on the hood?

Nice rides!

I took the badges off. It just didn't look right for me.

Your 427 Vette is great, but man, this pickup is extraordinary! So beautifully done! WOW! :thumbs::cheers::thumbs:

Thanks. I have a 67 c10 also that I am doing a convertible conversion on. I hope to get that done soon.

You can say that again. You can sell it for more than you bought it for.

Loving mine as well. Beautiful ride, but LOSE THAT ADVERTISING ON THE WINDOW! :ack:

LOL! That advertising on the windshield usually pays for my events that I attend. So it is all worth it. :thumbs:

Like yourself I'm also loving my 427 Convertible. In the circle of life, my first vette was a '67 convertible that was white with a blue interior, but it was a 327. I've had many since then, and I've enjoyed every one of them, and of them all this is my favorite.

I am wondering if I will like my C7 just as much as my 427. Only time will tell.

$$$ is important but being Vette Less is a "Tragedy"! What I went though with the Mrs after I got it was plain "Torture"!!! :rofl::smash::hide:

I plan to buy a 427 convertible someday. When I do get one, I don't plan to ever get rid of it. The C7 is going to have to be VERY good to pry a 427 out of my hands.

Well we know already, it will not be more powerful as your current 427:D, unless you are waiting for the Z06 or ZR1 version. Are you buying another vert? What options did you add on, and what color combination, if you don't mind saying?:willy:

Paper Tiger 06-24-2013 11:35 PM

I love mine too! It is my first Corvette and what a doozie! My 13 year old son and I just giggle every time we open it up, look at each other and say " I can't believe they let my buy this car" :lol:

I am going to go with a coupe and do white on white. Either that or I may wait for the Z06. I did order the SS sedan though in white.

I take my 7 year old daughter out in mine and she always says faster daddy, faster. LOL!

It'll be interesting what the Z06 & ZR1 look like in the C7 platform.:thumbs:

Thank you. I actually just bought nitrous for my truck. I'm thinking of moving my vehicles to the 600hp club instead of 500. LOL!
