2023 C7 of the Year Winner - Unmodified
2018 C6 of Year Winner
garage-ghost, glad you posted these photos - I was looking but couldn't find them as fast as you did. This car (and the ZO6) were both built by n2a (No 2 Alike), a custom shop specializing in the 7-8-9. The amount of work that goes into these cars must be astronomical, but....that ZO6 is just butt-ugly! What a terrible waste of an `03 ZO6.

I've seen a lot of terrible C5s over the years, so when I saw this thread title, I was thinking "yeah right"... well if this isn't the worst, it's pretty damn close. And the fact that so much time and money was spend to make it so horrible makes the entire thing all that much more awful.
You would think 1/2 way into this project, they would change their mind. It looks like they ran out of ideas when it came to the front end/fascia. I would never want anyone who knew me see me drive it! Only $80K? Check is in the mail...

Just my opinion, but "Zero" potential I think. I think its just sad. Maybe cause I never grew up in the big boat era.
I respect the 57 Chevy, I understand its importance in Chevy history, but it does not do a lot for me. When they started to put big engines in little car's in the later 60's ... that is what catches my eye.

The company usually builds some nice looking machines. Luckily for us, the company name IS their policy - NO TWO ALIKE. That means (THANK GOD) they will never make another one like this one.
