C2 Custom & Show

Rosa Markley’s former 1965 Corvette Stingray is a true mid-year relic—finished in Nassau Blue with side pipes, knock-offs, and a white interior that shines. This trophy-winning classic is the kind of Corvette that instantly earns respect at any show. With both a hard top and a white soft top, it delivers timeless style in every form. Even though they no longer own this Stingray, Rosa’s family remains a proud Corvette household.

Ron Townsend’s 1975 Corvette Stingray is everything the C3 generation represents: timeless style, true driver connection, and classic Corvette pride. With all numbers matching, a 4-speed manual, and only 36,000 original miles, this Stingray is a rare survivor in today’s collector world. Recently displayed at the Simeone Foundation Automotive Museum, Ron’s Corvette has earned its place in the spotlight. From local car shows to community conversations, this Stingray continues to keep Corvette heritage alive.

Some Corvettes are built fast—others are built right. This week’s Fan Friday feature introduces Morgan Hanson’s 2004 Corvette Z06 from Dallas, Texas, a Machine Silver C5 that spent four years evolving into a meticulously dialed-in performance build. Starting with the legendary LS6-powered Z06 platform, Morgan focused on thoughtful upgrades that enhance drivability, reliability, and track-ready capability without losing the soul of the car.
