Default A different look

It seems like a lot of modified Corvettes all end up looking the same, whether they're bad ones or good ones. It's nice to see something a little different once in a while. This isn't something I'd do to my car, and I wouldn't be tempted to buy it if I were in the market, but the exterior strikes me as being a more original and different treatment than I usually see. You may like it, you may hate it, you may get some ideas; just thought I'd share.

Everything about the car is hideous. Only two things look good, the seats and the steering wheel.

I don't think the waiting list to buy this one will be very long.

What on earth caused them to put 60s vintage badging on the sides?

Sad thing is there were actually some nice two tone factory paint jobs on the early cars.

Aside from the 2-tone paint and black sawtooth wheels, it looks like a nice car.

I know the purest dislike it. Finish the tu tone or eliminate it and paint the wheel centers.
i have more issues because its green with a tan top.
