How Should I Build This Corvette?
I just saw this youtube-
Hotrod Magazine's guy -"Finnegan" just got a 75 Corvette that's been sitting for decades-
5000+ comments on what he should do with it...
"numbers matching"
"LEAST collectible year Corvette out there"
"I like Corvettes, but the crowd that says 'it's worth more if kept original' is full of themselves"
"If it ever becomes more valuable (when pigs fly) you have the original motor/trans to restore it to original.."

From: I tend to be leery of any guy who doesn't own a chainsaw or a handgun.
Whatever they do, I'm sure they'll eff it up. Those Hot Rod magazine guys are complete clowns.
My suggestion: Put a full set of Greenwood widebody flares on it, an aftermarket frame with C5 suspension, and a 600hp LS engine in it. And then go out and annoy a bunch of Porsche owners with it.
Oh wait, it would probably annoy most of the HR subscribers because it's not a straight line hot rod.
Disclosure: I'm a current HR magazine subscriber despite all the stupidity in that magazine (at 9 or 10 bucks a year it's cheap reading over lunchtime).

Well you can tell from my signature what I would do to it. A 75 coupe is not worth that much anyway, or will it be probably in my lifetime.
