Default Slideshow of $200K plus 1963 Resto-Mod

The interior was done from Stingray leather. Note the headliner. No expense was spared on this baby. If case some of you 427 guys were wondering, headers and intake are good for 40HP. The suspension is incredible,,,how does 3.5" endlinks grab you!




The slideshow really didn't do this car justice so I posted fullsize pics



































YOU REALLY COULDN"T SEE THE STINGRAY HEADLINER IN THE SLIDESHOW
















































FOR YOU PURISTS OUT THERE,,,,,,IT WAS NOT A NUMBERS MATCHING CAR!

Don't like red interiors but the car looks sick. A lot of work definitely went into that one

I'm not a fan of keeping a car stock by any means (I've easily spent 10k or more on mods for my car) and I've got a C3 with a 400 small block, but to do that to a 63 split window coupe is just a crime.

I dont think its a crime if that's what the owner wanted and enjoys the car. Who every built it did an amazing job.

My car is very modified, but I like the stock door handles and the look of a stock dash. Other than that, it's a sharp car.

as far as restomoding a car, it would be a shame to do it to a really good car, but maybe it was a bad driver. I've considered just getting a beater Vette from some non appreciative dude, and tubing, and tubbing it into a drag car....

I say it depends on the car. I have a 63, all original, 1950 miles on it. I finally sold it because it was too much responsibility! But when you find one that is otherwise doomed to a slow death, and to turn it into a work of art, that is really great. Nice job.

Don't know Jim, Hal Smith owns it AND drives it as well. He has "people" that take it to all the shows. It will be a most of them this summer. I hope Hal has a big trophy case!

After viewing the shot of the dashboard I was expecting to see George, Jane, Judy and Elroy somewhere in the photo spread. Straight out of Spacely Sprockets.

Then I saw the double barrel pointing at the back of the occupants heads from under the rear windows.

A LOT of skill and great looking workmanship from the photos. Not something I would consider doing myself, but then I don't have two hundred grand to pee away.

Beautiful car but, 200 large, I think I could find a nice C1, C2, and C3 to add to my garage.
