Not over the top IMCO. Restraint in not destroying the iconic C2 design. Most of the money spent under the fiberglass. The wheel diameter will be polarizing but my guess looking at the undercarriage is they are covering some big rotors.

Not a restomod guy, but I like the restraint, too. Probably fun to drive.

The one item thats confusing is the add-on side pipes along with the big pipes in the back. Seems conflicting.

My guess is the option to allow the exhaust to come out side or if too obnoxious diverted to the rear.
A full undercarriage picture would confirm.

Tasteful. But I don't care for the steering wheel design at all.

No, this is a build we did for our customer who has no intentions of selling. Take care!

Overall, very well done. I don't care for the wheel/tire combo. To my eyes, 20s (or 22s whatever those are) always look a little out of place on a classic car, but I love the interior.

That's the belt-and-suspenders exhaust system.

Nicely done, twenty first century muscle and grunt but still retaining the Sting Ray style and heart. Many of these high-end builds are hurt by the outlandish wheels, not so here, they fit the build. Personally, I prefer four taillights and then hide a backup in the rear panel somewhere, but again, well done!

I'm a big fan of C2s in all flavors except for one, and that is the kind that don't get driven. My 67 is worth a fraction of this one (but is still a substantial amount to me) and I drive it. I hope the new owner drives it, enjoys it, and lets other have the pleasure of seeing it out and about. A car with real style is a rare thing these days, and this one has it in spades.
