i take the top part of the Herc out of the bottom for transport. It’s still a bit bulkier, but it fits in my pedal case.
There are plenty of Corvettes down here. One like that one pictured (but yellow) one suburb over, so I see it around quite a bit. Of course most have been converted to RHD.
But the law has changed over the last few (5? 6?) years to allow classics > 20 yo to stay LHD. It is odd though, following a car with one occupant that is sitting on the ‘wrong’ side.
I have thought for some time that with all the people building replica Cobra’s, why not replica C1’s???
Good choice on the ‘71 Vette! The C3 years have a very timeless design and are still one of the better buys in collectible cars.
If you had the ‘75 convertible it was very collectible since it was the last year for the roadster (until a come back much later on). I had a 1974 T-Top in Laguna Grey and at the same time bought my wife a 1971 Roadster in Bright Red. I don’t have pictures of them anymore but they looked identical to these…
Beautiful cars and fun to drive. Wish I still had them.
I sold my 1974 in 1988 for about $8000 to buy a top of the line Apple Computer (Mac II) with a whopping 150meg hard drive + 8 meg RAM drive, 14” color monitor, color laser printer and 64 meg tape back up unit for some graphic arts stuff I was doing on the side at the time. Fast forward to today and that Mac set up is worth about what you’d pay for a rubber door stop and the corvette is bumping $50,000. Yep, I’ve made plenty of bone head decisions in my life.
Thanks. I might have to listen again but did you have both pickups on or just the neck?
Does anyone know if there's a cover or sheath for the Epiphone T-Bird case? To protect it from the rain?
Not a convertible, a regular t-top coupe - that at some point had a 327 swapped in
Looked very similar to this one.....
Late 60s-early 70s still are the best looking for me. I'll never buy one, but if I did, it would be that time frame.
I never do this sorta thing, but what the heck.
It is that day for me.
Happy Monday and that other thing.

Happy Monday and that other thing.
You have a birthday? Didn't we do this a year ago?Anyhoo, have a happy _____day.
Nope, first time i've gone public here with it.
And thank you Mike.
Happy glad you were born day, Jeff! It's indeed a great day!
A little something for you!
You and JFK got the song. He got other benefits from her..... Sorry. Can't help there!
Well, best of days to you brother!
Wasn’t sure if aliens celebrate their birth anniversary on our solar schedule or theirs. If you were from Jupiter you wouldn’t even be 6 years old yet, so put that beer down!
I'm glad that meets with your expectations, sir. I love garage rock so Surfin' Bird is really cool to me and did not mean in any way to denigrate thunderbirds.
But you know what? This is a garage rock tune from Worcester, Mass where I grew up, in fact I saw this band and their bassist had a Thunderbird and I'm sure he played it on this record. These guys were really good live, two drummers, when I saw them they all had super Beatle amps.
