I have an old saying I refer to pretty much on a daily basis...

"just because you <u>can</u>, doesn't mean you <u>should</u>.

I'd say that applies here.

While I can certainly appreciate the craftsmanship and time/labor/$$$ that obviously went into this build, all I can think of when I see it is this:

Saw it at Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale this year. With the exception of the wheels, I like it....to each their own, I guess But then I also think that retro 2003/1953 Corvette looks better than any real 53 Corvette (or real C6 Corvette for that matter) ever thought about looking

Wow...I must have missed this at BJ? Don't love the look...but don't hate it either

bill, this might be a stretch for them, but all I can see is that the body line that ends in the wing starts with a turn down on the door,like the 58. in 59 it starts off straight.

it's a freak show.

live and let drive.

I like it, I don't know if I'd want to actually own one, but I like it.

They should rename it to the "911" because someone obviously held a gun to the designer's head. The authorities should be alerted.

Only if someone actually orders one; I can't see there being much demand for such an ugly car.

It looks like the old Johnny Cash song "One Piece At a Time" come to life. Yikes!

That's my feel too Bill.

I like the front, love the back, the side view needs a little work (looks pinched in the mid-section), but absolutely hate the wheels. Needs big-n-littles.

And yes, I like the '53 Retro-vette.

Course, I'm a dinosaur!
