By Bassem Girgis

Corvette sightings always put smiles on people's faces, but first generation Corvette sightings can take some breaths away. Check out this insanely custom 1962 Corvette.

I think you have described it perfectly.
On a more serious note a ton of work and money in this one.

not my cup of tea...

The hood scoop destroys the original lines of the car.

Classic lines more prevalent in original. Hood scoop is too " boxie " . disrupting the flow. If needed a 70 Chevelle type raised center could look like it belonged.
If the owner / designer is ecstatic ....... it's perfect !

Nor mine, either.

Looks like a NCRS Top Flight Bloomington Gold Car to me.

Do the lines of this hood scoop "flow" better? I tried to make it fit the curvy lines of the body.

That thing is all wrong and the sad thing is it cost a bunch to build it.

There are worse things you could do to a Corvette.

Not for me, and by the way, that body looks like it started as a 61. Unless they molded in the bottom rocker panels....

Did those things costs $100,000s to build? I didn't think so.

No doubt a lot of money spent on something that looks like crap. Builder would be lucky to get $.10 on the dollar spent on that one.

I've always thought that if you must put a hood scoop on a C1, an Austin Healy 3000 look would be the way to go.
