What is this?
Hi All.
I am complete newbie but have always wanted a classic Corvette. I cam across this posting, which is suppused to be a 1977 Vette, but not sure what it really is: http://www.autotrader.ca/a/Chevrolet...&orup=26_15_30
I would love to get your thoughts as to what this car really is.
Thanks!
Lior

well looks like it was a 77 , now its trying to be an .......Aston Martin ?
needs bigger wheels on the back , or smaller flares .
Actually it needs more modern wheels , those just don't work with its look IMO. !

Thanks for sharing
I do love mods but this one missed the mark for me, i like flow, this is almost as bad as the corvette summer car,
Little things like big flares and the rear with the stock vette wheels back in a cave and basically no flares up front, the front and rear wells do not match,
Then i see the front and rear,
Reminds me of a talk with my dad long about 88 89,
I showed him a bunch of countach pictures from cannonball run,
He said, that to him the countach looked like he took several car model kits dumped them on a table mixed up and had a 3 yo build a car, he didnt like the countach,
I still like it, but my dads run down on its design would fit with this threads car design for me,
But like with any kit or rebody i would have to see it in person for final judgment, photos can be deceiving

In the pictures where the car is in the grass it has wider rear wheels and tires. Never seen that kit before, if it is a kit. I liked the old Ferrari Daytona Spider kits but this one has me confused. It would look better with the old Mustang tail lights.
