I always liked it on Corvettes.

Definitely not a match to 1968 Camaro color Corvette Bronze.

Actually, it is the opposite in Pontiac circles. A/C and a four speed are highly sought after with the 455HO. Partly because it was the only &quot;special&quot; Pontiac engine that you could get the A/C and a stick on.

(And us old people like to be refrigerated when we shift) [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]

No A/C with any RAIV
No A/C with a SD455 and a four speed

Color combo kills it for me....black interior and a black vinyl top would make the car more appealing IMO... I don't mind vinyl tops...as long as they are the proper grain and a good color.....and not holding a crusty roof together...

Those formula hoods were some of the best ever made.

I prefer this custom beauty that appeared in Corvette Summer. Best of both worlds.

True on color combo. If it was that with Black roof and interior, with spoiler I would have bought it. Be nice DRIVER in the summer months

The infamous Jon Poncherello (Erik Estrada) Firebird from the CHiPs TV Show in the 1970s. It was later used in Corvette Summer. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/sick.gif[/img]
