Default 1976 Corvette Sting Ray Gets the Vilner Treatment

Today on the homepage we posted an article about a Bulgarian C3 Corvette that got worked over by Vilner. What do you think of the car? Hot or not?

I wish the pictures were a little clearer, they are a little too dark but I give it thumbs up

I'm not really sure what to think. I'm sure it cost a whole bunch of money and I personally would spend it differently then leathering out my interior and putting a weird rear on. Non the less I would love to see it in person and how the brown really looks.

Hi,
Partial leather covering on the out side of the roof panels???
The exhaust and wheels certainly turned out differently than they appeared in the 'concept drawing' shown in one of the pictures.
Regards,
Alan

They dumped the Vega steering wheel - unacceptable.

Other than the luggage it looks pretty good.

With all that leather I bet it smells like a brand new pair of shoes.

How many places on the car does it say "Vilner"?

It looks to me that they made a car that the owner wanted. I don't care for it but it is not for me. Just because you can put leather on it, doesn't mean you should.
One thing that really sticks out to me is the mismatched gauges. That looks really sloppy to me.
