Why has this car not been restored?

Exactly!! Guaranteed the &quot;before&quot; pics would get more eye time then the &quot;finished&quot; pics in that album.

It would literally be a crime to restore that car.

If that car was restored I probably wouldn't even stop to look at it during a show. I'd walk right past it thinking it was a clone, tribute, re-creation. The way it is now, you just know its real!

The way it is now you don't know WHAT the hell it was. This is an important piece of Corvette history, it NEEDS to be white with blue stripes and red painted wheels. Period.

I don't think that there is a 100% right or wrong answer. If it were mine, I would restore it. What a cool car.
