Default Dad, I want a 6 sec Vette.

6 seconds in the 1/8th that is.
I took the son the his first track event, Knoxville Dragway. He wanted to bring this one home. Three years old and beginning the dream.

Nice looking gold C-3 doorslammer!! :cheers:

I like how they took the time to fit the slicks under the back without seriously raising the rearend. Your son has great taste. Betting dad liked it too.

Heh, I'd be happy with a vette that hit 60 in 6.0 seconds at this point in time... :rolleyes:

On a side note, your kid looks a lot like I did when I was that young. Let's hope he doesn't get hit as bad by the bug as I did... :D

Fevre,
I don't think it's a 73/74. The top edge of the front bumper appears to be straight, which makes me think it's a 75 or later. Could be wrong, though.
Cheers. :cheers:
