You can't go wrong with the gorgeous styling of a C2 and the performance of a modern 'Vette.

Interesting thing about that car. The doors were not painted "on plane", so they reflect the light differently (metallic), and look like a different color. Nice car, but that reflects (pun intended) poorly on the painter.

I LOVE resto-mod cars, but I don't like when the wheels/tires aren't more "period correct" size-wise. I just don't think older cars look right with large diameter modern wheels and smaller sidewalls...

Interesting note above by Mike Coletta about the off-plane painting of the doors.

This is a beautiful car.

Nice looking Resto-Mod. I bet those thin rubber tires gives the Corvette a rough washboard ride now compared to the 15" stock tires.
