Those 2 photos show a very nice looking retro ride. I wish there were more photos posted.

If it's a 66 re-creation why is it a split window?

If GM decides to make the C7 retro, I'd rather it be something more like this than an attempt at a retro C3.

I believe I saw one of these cars at Carlisle today. It was drawing a lot of looks and comments.

Looks very nice IMO. I just wish I was made of money then I could have all of those dream cars a guy should have through out his life.

So far it's nothing but a bunch of computer generated images though. I'm skeptical that this even exists, it really just looks like a ploy to get a name out there and drive web traffic at this point. For starters, they would have gotten the year right... and you would think they would have made at least ONE real car before going crazy with a website and making press releases.

It looks great but I bet you still can't see well out of the rear window. It didn't work in 63 so why should it work now? Nice design though.

Very nice - I like the 67 style or 69 style for a retro.

I saw a skecth a few years ago on the internet and the guy did a great job on a retro version 63. It was blue in color on the skecth - anyone see it, as I have tried a few times to locate it again. It was a nice job as well.
