Looks like a nice 1978 Anniversay C3. Great color scheme with the black and silver. Oakland Raider fans love that car for it's heritage to the football team whether or not it was meant to be or not. The big fat Goodyear Eagle GT radials on those rims really made it pop. Big spoilers in a time when performance was down but spoilage was up. Nice collection.

You are so so right.....I forgot that, of course at my age that is nothing new. I usually always see the ones without the decals on the side. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

The Vette with the 427 was that a 68 or 69. Sweet ground pounding time machine. Cheers.
