Vette(s): MM Red 1971 T-top,LS5,4-speed, black leather C5 seats, Hooker sidepipes. Previous: 64 Coupe, 65 Roadster L76 / N14
I like this one much more than the Transformer Vette!  The idea of C3 looks (sorta) and C6 driveability is appealing.  The rear end is too much late model to suit me.  I'll take two . . . .
 
Check out Pro-Team's 1962s for sale.  There is a modern replica that is going for about $130K that really looks kool!  Maybe beter than the original C1 (certainly one of my gavorites).

Vette(s): 1982 C3 Collectors Edition 44000 miles, sat in the sun most of its life, My wife purchased it for me for Father's Day in 2007 from her girlfriend that had it for 19 years. It is on the road again. I'm retired but it is now my daily driver.
I like the car style.  I agree I'm not into the kit thing but they may sell enough to make it worth their while.  I'm not all that craze about the C5 or C6 actually.  The actual cars are an improvement and really are great driving machine.

The Concept car looks great, but I am not in favor of it. History has created uniqness, thus recreating takes away from the pride of an era. Have we run out of ideas that we have to repeat history? The music world has run short of imagination and originality as they continually introduce old songs of 40 years ago that never meet the excitement of the orginal.

Hey Mick, I really like it!  BUT.....
 
1. It could never replace my beloved '72Smile
2. 'twould be better if it was a production car and not a kit.
 
Thanks for posting that.

Vette(s): 1972 conv, 4-speed, 350, 200hp, numbers match, rally wheels, war bonnett yellow w/white top. good condition, nice driver.
LOL NO THANKS, I like my BONNETT better. The mixture of several do-dads are not to my liken.  Wheels do not fit the era, shape is not right for the body, and I am partial to the original ones.
