Default 54 Corvette Nomad

Don't know if anyone had posted this yet, Superior Glassworks is making a run of 54 Corvette Nomad replicas with a new-tech chassis. Would make a fun car if there was any room in the garage.

It looks like the price could keep it "limited edition".
60K for the body (which requires a custom chassis)
99.5K for a roller
195K for turn key
Great looking "custom" but how big is the market for something like this at that price point?

It's a beautiful car but that's a big price. I'd love to own one at about half price.

well at 195K I would think that after 25 they would be able to retire, that is if the can gind 25 people to pay that much for them.

There have already been so many of thse things built over the years that I'm afraid there's just not enough market left, especially at that price.
