I ain't a big fan of most custom Corvettes, but I saw this one in the Corvette Trader, and the side profile pic was just too intriguing to not check it out. I gotta say...ME LIKES THIS ONE!
Of course, they want wayy too much for it, imo, but...it sure is sweet. Not too much "stuff"...nice color combo, looks well put together, and not a Saturday Night Special...
Opinions?

I think its pretty cool. I'm just like you Joel. Some custom jobs are a waste of a good Shark. This one still has the C3 look. And I like the way they kept the flips for the lights. Maybe a little less flare on the rear fender, and I'm not crazy about the wheels. I give it about 8.5

I'm with you, Joel. Don't like customized corvettes much, especially when they start messin' with a '73! But this one is nicely done....but AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION! doh The flared fenders look like A-prod and B-prod road racers from the '70's.  


There is no substitute for low end torque!

I like it also, the Gray stripe really works with the silver.
I'm with Will I'd love to take it for a spin, but it should have been a 6 speed since the rest up the drive train was upgraded.
Agree with the 8.5 Big%20smile
