That car was built by forum member Godspeed Rides. He builds very high end resto mods and usually posts build threads on the C2 Forum. His shop puts out extremely high quality products and his '63 was recently featured and on the cover of Vette Magazine.

So it was a high dollar shop did a high dollar build then 150 might happen if someone at some auction falls in love

At that price point, I'd want to see a lot more pics before I came to see it in person. Sounds like it's got some real high end parts on it and would be curious to know more. (Not that I could even dream of affording it)

Based on the previous comments, this car is probably amazing, but with all the body modifications necessary to get these 60's designed vehicles to play with the modern sports cars, all I can see is this:

Too Batmobile for my taste. I was at caffeine and Gasoline in Sarasota yesterday with my black 71 coupe and another black 71 pulled in. I went over and saw it was a restomod with LS3, 6 speed manual, upgraded suspension and Wilwood brakes with bigger wheels. Honestly, I'd take that car over the Batmobile.

I`m a "plain & simple" guy. This is way over the top for me. For 150 grand.... I`d buy a half dozen or so "plain & simple" vettes before I`d buy ONE wild custom for the same money!

When my wide body was done i was on that cusp of being embarrassed to drive it...keep in mind i ran it from 15k to over 100k miles stock so loved the basic 81...now if i had 150k i would drop about 5k in the 69 buy my wife a dd she likes then the rest on the house but no, i wouldnt buy anything radical

I see cubic dollars here, and a way for the builder to showcase their abilities. Cool build for sure, but not for me. I think the Stingray body is perfect in its design and can't be improved.
