Naturally, the Corvette professionals at CorvSport are not encouraging dropping LSD or any similar substance, but how can an enthusiast look at this wild 1969 Stingray and not think of the crazy days of the 1970s? And, of course, no judgment if you like to partake–I was once a carefree college student (albeit in the 80s!). [Author’s Note: This article is FREE and not behind a paywall. Yes, FREE!

When Kevin L., out of the great state of Pennsylvania, recently posted his customized C3 Stingray on social media, the response was nothing short of “that’s trippin’ yo.” Just how crazy has the response from the C3 community been? How does 1400+ reactions, 345+ comments, and 48+ shares sound? Remarkably, Kevin has owned this custom gem since 1980, and I must say, he is aging just as well as the trippy creation he acquired 45 years ago.
Looking good, Kevin! Photo Credit: Kevin L./Facebook
The Original Post:
“I recently reactivated my FB account and started following this group. Here is my 69 that was customized in 1972. The car survived the psychedelic era of the 70’s. I have owned the car since 1980. The work that went into this car is amazing! I realize the folks that like all original rides will hate the car and the customization. I have tried to preserve a car from short time period in the 70’s.”
