Vette(s): Beautiful Original Condition 1987 C4 Convertible, Bright Red exterior, Red interior, 4+3 Doug Nash Manual transmission, with 62K miles. Garage housed and dry roads driven. Fun to cruise along in, but always ready to go!

I I recently landed my first Corvette at age 63, as a retirement cruiser, with 58K miles, red exterior, red interior, 4+3 manual transmission, convertible, complete with an unusual "SharkTail" looking spoiler!

 

I haven't been able to find another spoiler like it, and was wondering if anybody else has seen this type.

 

The car runs and sounds like a dream, is a blast to drive, and keeps looking better each time I give it a little additional loving care and clean-up.

 

I've been enjoying cruising in retirement in Buckeye Land!

Vette(s): 87 Red Coupe, not as pretty, had 213G miles, great running engine; got 20-21 around town, 27-28 on hwy; I got to drive a Vette, every day for 6 yrs. It was my first; so now I know what the fuss is all about. (Sold it 2015 for $3000, still ran great.)
Must be aftermarket,  but sure fits and looks good. 
 
I, too, have an 87, bright red, my first Vette, pushing 61, used to live in Cleveland, Buckeye-land, enjoyin the heaven of it, so we two have lots in common, but also with all the other Vetters on the wave.  Enjoy the ride.

Fun to see another red convertible in Ohio (I'm further north next door to Cedar Point). Your vette looks fantastic!

Nice looking ride. I've never seen a tail like that. It definately makes it yours and looks good doing it. Enjoy, Enjoy, Enjoy.......
