Here's a few more form the Friday night cruise in.

The orange '74 belonged to my late father in law several years ago. It was originally orange but brown when we found it. We put on Eckler's fiberglass rear bumpers to replace the warped stockers and he had it painted a Mustang orange. It's held up quite well over the years.

A few more. this is the first time I've seen a C5 bumper on the rear of a C3. Works pretty well in my opinion.

That c-3 with the c-5 bumper is different..to say the least,
I like the color scheme on it....

A few more C3s from today in spite of the rain.

Tom,I was there on Sunday and didn't see many vettes go through, lots of 30s and 40s. Did see a gray 63 split window go for 48K.. Which looked like a good buy. Guess friday and saturday were better days for muscle cars. Looking forward to seeing the auction results.This was my first time at an auction of this size and think I may have to look ahead next time and pick a day w better cars on the block.Great pictures,Jim

There were many more Corvettes last year. You never know what will be the popular car from year to year. The grey split window did ok for a non '63 color. Paint was very nice. If you want to see all of the cars without the crowds go on Thursday. Saturday is the big day at the auction but thr crowds are the biggest also.

I was over your way today. My youngest son lives in Northwood.

A few more. this is the first time I've seen a C5 bumper on the rear of a C3. Works pretty well in my opinion.

Most likely not a C5 rear end, has C4 tail lights and no exhaust cutout in the bottom or the vents on each side. Looks more like a C4 with the waist line strip removed plus the license plate pocket is to small for the C5 or the C4. The small plate window looks as thought they sectioned the bumper cover in the middle to get it narrow enough to fit the C3.



That kind of plastic surgery would make a reasonable woman look like Phyllis Diller. :booty

the 63 had[duel brake master clyinder] 1967 brakes on it .with some other minor changes .i think that might have hurt the price .
