The rear end could use a little work, but overall I think it's a good looking car.

In fact, it looks great until you get to the rear wheel. From that part back it loses its appeal.

It would make a very nice new model automobile produced by a boutique manufacturer.

I wouldn't modify my Vette for it, though.

Here's another conversion. It's called the 789. I saw the real thing at a car show a month ago. I actually liked it.

Total destruction of the great C6 looks. That grill is obnoxiously huge. Front end looks like a throwback to British roadsters from several decades ago.

Default Crack is bad

I remember seeing Corvette's from the 70's that where totally F'd up like these. Either their's a new drug in town or this must be from an idiot overseas.

My reflex reaction was: Blah, looks like a bloated Jaguar....

But... after some time staring at it... Its not that bad... I think if people (myself included) would not know that it's a C6 they would like it more....

I had heard about the 789 but not seen one yet. It is sharp... but you would have to start with a wrecked Vette for me. I would rather have the Vette.


Now..... that first thing is just U G L Y

I read somewhere that only two complete cars exist and they were built in Mexico!
