That’s another copy if you don’t see the Hot Wheels decal on the car or the GMGarage decal on the rear quarter. The one commissioned by HW and built by GMGarage sits in the Hot Wheels private collection. A vette shop near me bought that heavy metal flake gold paint made up by GMGARAGE under their new paint label and it came with a color photo brochure telling the build story.

I would assume that it is the real deal from the Hotwheels collection since the Deora II is in the background.

Five year old car that GAS MONKEY screwed up the trailing arm locations on, because they can't measure the tire diameters. Bunch of HACKS....non reality show.

They did this for HOT WHEELS.

The only C3's I remember seeing at SEMA were the GM "Midas Touch" and the 48 hour corvette.
There were many really nice c2 and c1 builds. Hell there were 43 new Supras there (literally)
I am not a huge fan of the GM build, but I get what they were going for and guess they pulled that off. The car is suppose to be kind of a cartoonish exaggeration of the c3 to be made into a hot wheels car. I would MUCH rather have the 48 hour corvette because you can actually drive it, but none of the cars in the hot wheels display are really made to be driven- like the "Twin Mill"

Do I understand this correctly? They took a factory 427 with a manual and customized it? If so, couldn't they have started with a lesser model?

I think it’s over the top and cool in that way. Would never want to build or buy it though.
