Not my style. I don't like the headlamps or the too low stance.

So.... how would you title a vette with a '73 front, '69 cab & '71 frame? Salvage? I like the wheels and interesting paint job, but don't like the clear thingys over the headlights.

If its really got a new 454 with "lots of goodies", then you would have no reason to put 4.56 gears in the rear while running 18" low-profile tires. :rolleyes: Top speed with the TH400 must be ~90mph. :lol:

You put those kind of gears in a street car when it is slow, so that it will "feel" quick and fast at street speeds.

Physically, I like everything but the lights.

Like Wes said, that Big Block can't be too stout to run 4.56 gears with those rubberband tires. :lol:
