From coupes to Corvettes, the side lot at Rockingham Dragway was packed for the annual Super Chevy Show on Saturday.
One of the most unique cars was Ronald King’s Chameleon Vette — a 2014 C7 Corvette Stingray Z51 3LT.
King, of Hope Mills, is a retired command sergeant major who later worked for the Department of Homeland Security and has spent more than $250,000 in making his show car a one of a kind with a variety of modifications to the body and motor.
The paint, King said, is effervescent pearl outrageous, with pigments that reflect the light to make the car look different colors, ranging from aqua blue to Carolina blue to seafoam green.
“If you walk around it, you’ll see it change those three colors,” King said.
This is King’s 10th year, showing the car 700 times and racking up more than 1,000 awards.
But, King said, there’s more to his mission than just car shows.
“What you see me doing right here is what I do every week somewhere … promoting positive change for our youth worldwide, that is: staying in school, a good education staying away from drugs, crime and gangs, and keeping God first in your life,” King said.
King won Best in Class at the Super Chevy Show, earning two plaques and a jacket to add to his accolades.
