I just can't get over the euro touring look of the headlights. If it wasn't for that it would definately be a dream car for me. Would of liked to of seen more pictures from the rear. Overall though - car is very :cool:

It Looks Like Crap, Hopefully this wasa damaged vette before he started. I guess 1 less 73 vette makes the rest of our 73 more valuable

I am way into modified Vettes. I figure whatever Detroit made...I could make better. In fact I have molded, flared, bolted on, stripped off, stroked, punched out, underdriven or overridden almost everything I have ever owned since I was 16. A Motion is a Motion but I too have a hard time accepting the 280Z front end. IMHO some things were made right the first time. :cheers:

Ditto! I really like the Mako Shark roof, but hate the headlights!

I like it, but you are right the head lights are hard to take but then again when that car was done that was the look so you got to take custom cars with the time period in mind of when they were done.

How odd. I'm the only one that loves the headlights with the stock flatback window. None of the rest of you have any taste! :jester

Nope not for me either. The lines of a Corvette are perfection to me, and any mods to the body just don't cut it. Maybe a hood scoop if you're dropping in a bigger engine, but that's about it :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:
