Sting Ray III

Here's what it reminds me of most! (yes, an unpainted plastic model car... )

I guess there were still some fans of this concept at GM.

Did anyone notice the signs on the steel base of the C6 body. It says GMX 245, that was the code for the C6. My guess is this shot was taken at a GM facility, Milford, Warren Tech Center, or Bowling Green.

I'm kind of surprised that the pictures are still up.

You mean the stuff in white painted on the blue base? I've blown that up in Fireworks and can't read it at all... too fuzzy.

Look at the left side of the platform the car's sitting on in the head-on photo.

Looks like the cat is out of the proverbial bag.

I wish the headlights were a little "sharper" looking, but overall I think it looks pretty good. I'm still going to hold off on final judgement until I see it all put together.

From those photos, I like everything but the rearend. If those photos are real, I have a feeling someone will be severely screwed.

Hmmm...

Rumor now is that those shots may have been snapped up in Ashtabula Ohio, at a supplier plant for the fiberglas... which would explain why the body only is there...

Maybe I need to do a roadtrip... Of course, the odds of me coming across something are slim since those pics are supposedly from July.

TAKE NOTE: No back up lamps. Wonder if all Vettes will get the Euro lenses.

Actually look at the very bottom of the rear shot.... they are to the far left and right of the exhaust pipes... if you have an image editing software, "brighten" the picture, and you can see them...

OK. see 'em. Thanks. Not a bad idea really, pretty sharp. Doesn't leave much room for the rear vents though.
