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

Re: Egad! $7 Million
It would literally be a crime to restore that car.

Re: Egad! $7 Million
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!

Re: Egad! $7 Million
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.

Re: Egad! $7 Million
If the metalflake can be removed, that's what should be done. I'd be ecstatic with just that. This is the first significant Corvette race car to go up against international brands. This is the test mule for fuel injection. This is the test mule for the first 4-speed transmission. This car shouldn't look like a broken-down 50s hot rod reject.
