Another example of the fact no other car series has even been butchered and tacky modified like the C3 Corvette.

I can appreciate customs. It's really hard tell in the pictures, but it looks better than the last one by far. I'd throw some paint on it and drive it for sure.

The front doesn't look too bad. Looks like a Firebird front end

A lot of people do crazy things with C3s.

That's a Faux rari....




Regards this custom:



Here again though is a good example of a problem that's been around the amateur, and sometimes professional, car design industry for ages.

The rear of a car is much harder to get "right". Almost every amateur design has a horrendous back side.

Comes from brain fatigue maybe?
