That car is "Bad to the bone"! Got that European flair to it.

Sure is. Sold for $143,000 at Scottsdale. Maybe that was the auction the video was referring to. What do you suppose was spent on it?

I'd drive the wheels off of it!
It's different and draws attention.
Never found a car that pleased everyone yet.This is another custom take on the c-3 in a new direction.I think it is a very cool look and the build quality and detail is very nice!The cool thing about it is that if you don't like the car as a whole there are going to be parts of the car that you do like.(Maybe custom,or the areas the look stock.)Either way it's eye candy.
Very nice!

I love it when someone posts a thread with these polarizing customs. This car is way over the top and whether or not the owner is happy with it is the only thing that really matters. You don't have to like it to acknowledge at least in the pictures it appears to be well done with a high level of craftsmanship. I like customs however this is not my taste but.......it is a finely executed attention grabbing "hot rod" Corvette

Nice looking custom,I'd drive it. Seats look a little tough getting in to but they have prostate cutouts. The big metal box covering the carb is a little odd.
