I don't care for any Vette with Chrome wheels, but thats what great about Vettes, thousands of Vettes and thousands of Owners and each with there own idea of expression. You don't see that in Ferrari or Lambo or Porsche land!

Somebody's paying their respects to the 70's. Needs a set of curb feelers to finish it off.

Curb Feelers?? Those were awesome. Imagine if one of the vendors started selling them. Every vendoe will join in.

The fake chrome hood vents are pretty bad, but otherwise the car is passable. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

At least there should have been eight of them.

If it was a car I knew nothing about, I would suspect it was some sort of special/anniversary/pace-car/whatever edition from the factory...lord knows GM has done worse in the past.

Nobody can mess up a car like West Coast Customs. All of their projects look like clown cars.
