UGLY BLACK WHEELS look like they came off of a farm wagon, side pipes look like crap! The rest of the car looks good. Just my opinion.
Are you referring to my car? I respect your opinion but I'm also thankful for the other comments. The car is a hot rod. The previous owner gave me pictures of the ugly heap it once was. The original L72 was gone. This frame off car was built with to be a California replica. He took it to Detroit and drag raced the first C7 that was ever put on the road and he tells me it was neck and neck. The car's nickname is "Widowmaker". Is faster than I dare to drive it, that's for sure. The rear view mirror is a surfboard.
I wish I could say that I built it...
This was my friend's 365 hp '65 after he ran it off the highway and it caught fire. All that was left was from the gas filler door to the rear bumper tips. Another friend purchased the car new and had swapped the hubcaps with his father's '64 coupe. It was a real shame as the car was a very low mileage car and showroom clean when the accident happened.
So, let me ask everyone this question. In 20-25 years, will Corvette owners/enthusiasts like us today, think the same thing about the current restomods, as we do the modified cars of the 1970s and 80s?

Obviously the guy that made that stupid comment was a dumb farmer that thought he recognized the wheels . No disrespect to the smart farmers .

Your "STUPID" is My Personification of Your Original.
Personification/Modifying Objects is Part of Human Nature. For some it's staying in the "Main Stream" of whats Most Accepted, while for Others it's More About making that same Object/Thing something Different from that of What You Deem as untouchable in your Eyes, but not Mine. end quote
I am different, therefore I want my cars to be different ! I don't feel that every Corvette needs to be "restored". I get that with my Hot Rod 60 occasionally at car cruises. But how often do you get to see a flamed 60 with a nicely done (in the 70's) button tuck white interior?? Pops
Here's another interesting one, I actually really like the shape of the fenders on a midyear, its hard for me to like this car with the fenders modified like this..almost makes it look plain.
I could probably own that one..... but on the other hand.... the flattened front fenders are hard to look at ....knowing the beauty of the orginal
