It's alright, nothing special...not wild about the rims and that colour.

Color changing paint, fender flares and huge tires. Looks like someone has put a lot of time and energy into that one. Looks pretty good to me, just not real crazy about the color.

Not for sale...it's sitting outside a body shop and appears to be a work in progress. The exterior work looks brand new and the interior is gutted.

I like it, would choose different rims but the meats on the back are awesome.

That 69 is not for sale, it belongs to the owner of the body shop. The shop is always working on sweet rides. I think the 57 chevy under the car cover also belongs to him. Here is another view of the vette:

I like the tire size & flares too, but I've never been a big fan of that color on a whole car. Although it might look good as a stripe or accent against a darker main color. Just my 2 pennies worth.

I like it!...Those meats!, wheels are dope! Kinda gold, Bummer to have to do all that wrenching to own a Vette though.

I could do entirely without the rims but other than that I definitely wouldn't kick it outta my garage!
