Default "789"

One awesome ride
Unbelievable! The company is planning a production run of about 100
vehicles.
Sits on a Corvette C6 chassis, front styled like a 57 Chevy, side
like a 58, rear like a 59. Hence the designation "789".

I dig it, but I always liked the 58 and 59's. They should just cut to the chase though and build it on the ZO6 chassis.

This world needs to know when to say... enough. The engineers of today need to stop looking in the rear view mirror and learn how to drive thru the front.Let see some creativity come from Detroit that has the spirt we love "and" a refreshing design that won't be dead in a year or two.The cars we enjoy were lucky enough to get a redesign every two years .....now we look at the same crap for 5-10.Heck, if I want a 57,58 or 59 I'll buy one....Just don't stick all three in a blender and hit the button....

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
