? That's a big range Freddy. And if you are saying because of the shape, keep in mind that IF that is a corvette, the entire '68 to '82 years had the same basic shape.

What the.....
OK, last hint in case you wanna change your mind.
Fatdog said:Stingray. Red. Black vinyl top. 427 with 6bbls (tri-power) and square port heads. 435hp factory rated.
Of course, all of that is just a guess.
WTF!!! Somebody must be spying on me. You got access to the CIA spy satellites Bobby? The kind that could look inside cars and see the car stereos too? That's downright creepy.

If only the IRS were 1/2 as efficient, we are all in trouble. :grim: 
I cheated a little bit. I used the Boomboxery Search.Superduper said:Fatdog said:Stingray. Red. Black vinyl top. 427 with 6bbls (tri-power) and square port heads. 435hp factory rated.

Yes, but in '78 they went to the bubble back/fastback style. Before that it had the kammback/flying sails.
and you asked what it was, not the details (except for year)...so "I" win! And didn't cheat!
baddboybill said:So lets see it
Next week Bill. I don't want to uncover the car right now because now that it's on a trailer, it'd be far too easy for someone to hook it up and drive off with the whole shebang. I'd lose the car and that very expensive trailer too. Due to the color and that it now sits higher, it would attract too much attention.

Well, the problem is the "except for the year" part, which on the very first post, says make/model/YEAR and your guessed range started at '69 which excludes the one year which is virtually identical to '69 which is '68 (it's impossible to tell the difference between a '68/'69 when under a cover). So no win, although you didn't cheat either so I'll give you that However, your reasoning regarding the flying sales vs bubble glass fastback style isn't really valid because I do believe either the earlier C3 and later C3 would have a similar silhouette under a cover except maybe a slightly more aggressive coke bottle look on the '68--'72 versions and more aggresive stingray (wings) and the late C3's of '81-'82 were longer, especially in the nose. Now the sihouette difference that is readily visible under a cover is the covertibles vs. coupes due to the shorter and steeper rear ramp of the passenger compartment of the convertibles but then again, the convertibles had soft and hartop and the hardtop retains a little more angle to the rear than the soft top.
