This car is absolutely beautiful.

I'm not sure if this is the right forum; if not, Mods, please direct it to where it should be.

You have to see it. I hope the picture does it justice. So many times, when a body is added to a car, it somehow doesn't look right; except a little bit in the tail, this car gets it spot on right. From what I understand, the tail lights have to be the height that they are because of the way the frame is, to pass federal crash testing.

Every time I walk past this car, I melt (it's for sale in our showroom). I'm reminded of the days when cars were built as chassis and then sent to Bertone, or Pininfarina, or some other coachworks to be bodied. You just have to see it. Especially from the front, it has all the heart-stopping power of any great automotive design. The fit & finish is excellent, what you would expect from a professional custom shop. If I had the swag, I'd own this car.

I'm no lover of Corvettes; I respect them, but they do nothing for me. I wish the pictures could capture the sharp intake of breath that you feel the first time you see the car.

Eww... what did they do that poor vette (I think)

Well, the front looks like an old Austin Martin, which is a good thing. On the other hand, the rear looks like the person drawing it was drunk at the time.

I guess it has to be seen in person.

Hey Now:
Not for me!!!!

You have to see it. The pictures don't do it justice. It's nothing at all like the Tbird. It's not awesome, it's beautiful, like a jewel.

I'm not a huge Vette fan to begin with but...the lines just don't flow on this car. It does injustice to the C5. If you want the original Corvette look, then go buy one!

I've seen those in car magazines. It is basically a C5 Vette with a replica '53 Vette front and rear grafted on.

The tail lamps have to go.
Won't be one in my driveway
