I love the replica cars but not the one you posted. I don't care for the grill. Last year at the MAM show there was a nice one behind the C3VR tent that I keept eyeballin ....(someday maybe)

Any way here is a link to the Avanced Automotive line of replica cars that I find more eye appealing..... How about you?

OH WELL, They're beautiful, but I can't afford either one. But, I'm so in love with my C3s that I'll get over it Big%20smile. There just isn't anything with the lines of a C3 (be still my heart Heart).

I hate the grill. 
it looks like one of those claymation cartoon characters that always have teeth showing.  i can't remember what they are but when you see them, you'll know what i'm talking about.
 
those things give me the creeps!

The Corvettes design has been a direct reflection of the time period that it was released in. Each one a classic in it's own right. These retros do nothing for me, just ruin a beautiful design. I personally think that e-bay car looks terrible, the real '53 blows it away for styling. However I stand right next to Aceinthehole....There ain't nothin' like the lines of a C3!!

I think I'm gonna go stare at my car

Thanks for the link to replica carz.  Looks better with the chrome.  And Yes, it does look like one of the cars in the movie "cars".  One reason I posted this car, is that it is only 20 miles from where I live.  $100K seems too high of a price.  It has been advertised in the local newspapers.  Thanks for the info on the company.  Learned something new!!!   steve
