Corvette Clone ????
It just dawned on me, something really cool..........almost all the hot cars out there are CLONED.........SS-GT-RT-COBRA-COPO-YENKO-HEMI-GS-SE-RS-TA-Z28-GTO-442- & so on...................
you can't CLONE a stingray & you can't CLONE a CORVETTE !!
it is what it is...........SPECIAL !!!
No matter what year, or style, it's a CORVETE & unique PERIOD !!!

Getting back to the clone thing.....
I was watching Speed Channel yesterday and they're building a 1969 Camaro clone. Built from the ground up using all catalogue parts, sub-frames, body panels, interior, etc.
I suppose you could do the same with a Corvette. They offer frames, body panels, suspension, etc. If the $$$ didn't matter you could probably make a pretty trick car if that was your plan.

That's right, I should have clarified.
You saw it too, huh?
Looks like an interesting project.....and although its serial number may suck, it'll be a pretty cool car when finished.

im not sure how it would get registered but as long as you can regester it i would think it would be the way to go. dont have to worry about a rust bucket and everything would be new.

I believe one of the Corvette Mags did a complete straight axle with nothing but catalogues to start with, called it Mr. Big. Sold it at Barrett-Jackson last year for around 85k as I remember. L88 and L89 cars are being cloned, only they're being passed off as the real thing.
