One for Aapple

Saw this at a job today.
His Dad gave it to the customer of mine.

It's been so long since I've seen one in person, man they are long with a massive hood!
Pic doesn't do it justice, this thing is a beauty.

nice

 

[slabghost]

I want the red one!

What year is that, a '68...'69...? My favorite! Chrome bumpers and rocker mouldings! Takes me back to my Hot Wheels days!

He told me but I'm waiting to see if Joel knows what year it is :hihihi:

 

[Steve83]

Oh, he'll know!

 

[Winger 82]

I'm going with it being a 72 :music: :music:

 

[backlander]

+1 on the red one. I like vettes but I like them old coupes more.

 

[Steve83]

'69! Even if I guess wrong, it's a good number!

 

[Omega Man]

I know the year but the question is for Joel. :hihihi: Is the red one a Willys?

~O~

 

[joedrum]

looks to be 72

Nope, same for 69.

~O~

...or '70 - hell, I don't know! There weren't too many of 'em in El Paso back then! I could Google it, but that's no fun...

 

[AApple]

'71....hard to tell from the side. The front grills/turn sigs would tell for sure. Not a '70, unless someone has changed the side vent panels.
No matter...it's the rong color, anywho. :hihihi:
Still a neat "gift". :good:

 

[dan filipi]

He told me it's a 1970 so maybe some changes been made.

I don't know what the red coupe is. Tell ya the truth I was so gaga over this vette I didn't even notice it.

 

[Omega Man]

I thought 70 too.

 

[Steve83]

Goes to show ya how little I know about Vettes! When you say wrong color, do you mean it's not your favorite, or was that not an original color option? Yup, definately a nice little "gift"!

 

[backlander]

I use to have a 70 and I couldn't tell by the way the picture was angled and mine was a convertible. Here it is, I was getting it ready to be repainted. Those were the days !!! 350/350 HP balanced engine, four speed, awesome runner.

 

[charles franz]

If any "gift" is involved, I live in NC! Have a great evening, Charlie in NC

Heck Steve....everyone knows that "ALL Corvettes are RED...the rest are mistakes...."
:smilie_happy:

For the '70-'72s, the only real tell-tale from the side is the side vent grills. From the pic, it appears that both the horizontal and the vertical edges are chrome. Iirc, the '70s only had the horizontal edges chromed. Actually, the whole grill was chromed, then painted, and the edges cleaned of paint. A pic of the front would tell for sure, as the front grills, and turn signals were different for each year '70-'72. :mrgreen:
