New Carl’s Jr. Ad Stars a ’75 Corvette That's Up for Grabs
Carl’s Jr. has had some pretty impressive spokespeople over the years, but none will probably deliver the kind of knock-out punch that the latest Carl's Jr. model will: a ’75 Stingray.

I liked the Count's 75 build over the Gas monkey's 68. Plus they didn't destroy a rare desirable car in the process. I'm not knocking either I just favored the 75.

They nailed it, in fairness to Gas Monkey their goal was a Hot Wheel car and they did exactly that.
I love the old c3 racer look and didn't think they could make a 75 look that good.
Just curious what a paint job like that would run these days?

You're looking at $10-$15K for paint like that. add $5K for body work.

Watched the episode last night. The format fit exactly what Count loves to do best... all 70s, all the time.
Why does the ad photo show a car that looks nothing like the finished car?

The contest to win the car has been going on for a couple weeks now. I'm sure they didn't want to ruin the reveal on the show and build some buzz for the episode.

You can watch the Carl's Jr. Corvette episode on History.com. You'll need your cable provider's username and password to stream the show.
Anyway, here are a few screenshots to give those of you who did not watch the episode, an idea of what the car looks like.
Personally, I like stock-looking cars, but they did a decent job with this one ... I can only assume, since they never show the actual work being done.
As far as the paint goes, since I was a teenager during the 1970's I saw plenty of metalflake paint jobs, which—just like bell-bottom pants—should be relegated to that era.
