I knew there was a good reason I didn't eat my breakfast this morning. Pink is okay for Cadillacs, but not Corvettes.

I like pink in Mustangs and Baby Birds too. My daughter would love this one to go with her pink '64 1/2 Mustang convertible.

YA & I bet he also sells ocean front property here in AZ. That Corvette is someone's pipe dream or night mare.PS Back in the day we called Corvettes like that 3 through 7'S because there were parts from different year C-2'S

Ken -

Read the car's history - it's an S.O. car, painted, modified, and refurbished three times by GM Styling for Harley Earl's wife.

You don't want to know the price the first time I saw it for sale...

Re: Date code batching for Holleys

Was Harley's wife's name Barbie and they lived in a Dream House? It looks like the original giant sheet of flower stickers that came with the car is missing

Re: Date code batching for Holleys

I think it's great. Very evocative of the times. Ex-GM head of styling's wife driving a pink Corvette around Palm Beach. It's unique, and everyone would have known it was Mrs. Earl driving it. It fits perfectly.

I understand John but no matter who did it its still a ugly 3 through 7 Corvette. If they can get 750,000.00 good for them. As I said they would be able sell anything.

You know of course that Playboy gave the pink Mustangs to the Playmate of the Year?

I wouldn't mind owning the pink 53 that Earl had made for his wife. And you thought all 53s were white.

Maybe Mrs Earl sold Mary Kay products on the side.
