    They're so valuable now that only a few sick individuals modify them anymore. But they sure are slick when done right! Anyone have any custom Vette pictures? Famous or unknown, let's see em-

    Yep, you're a bonafide Vette nut. Pretty soon you're going to have a crossed flag jacket and scowl at people. :D

    Here's a couple more..

    Unless it was a really early one (up to '54 - maybe '62) and knock dead gorgeous, about the only way I would own a Vette is if it was modified. I'd do it just so I could hear all the purist cry and moan about how evil I was. These are some cool ones so far. Love to see more.
     
  7. Saw this one the other night at our local cruise night...Not so much Kustom as smoothed out & clean...Real nice looking tho.

    The McNulty/Moreira Vette was always my favorite, albeit I like the first version alot better with the painted coves. I also really like the one by Bertolucci"s on Bob Yoas 57 vette. Do you have some pics of that one Rik? Its funny I was thinking about custom Vette's the other day.

    Heres some i got off Ricksters site few years ago, the red one is still the same appearing every few posts, while ive yet to see the black one, either here or anywhere else in the world! Any info appreciated.
    Plus, i was lookin for another one ive seen recently. Its 2tone baby-blue and white, ive seen 2 or 3 pictures of it on the grass at some show, it seems bagged, at least upfront as it was on a light rake. It looks a lot like the one on Ryans nr 3 link, titled uncommon 'vette, only re-freshed. It also has a skull in the rear parcel tray, i know i shouldnt have said that here:D, but hell......
    Its very nice, i cant seem to find it in this computer (im at work) ill see if i find it home, unless sombody understand what im talkin about and posts it.
    Anyway, this one has the potential to become a very nice thread! Hope it will get a lot of info and good pictures.

    S***!!!:eek:
    Now that you say it i can quite see what it really is....but damn, i had that picture for years in the Custom 'vette folder and never knew. Actually i noticed the way bigger wheels not "tucking" at all and never really like it, but thought it was a "weird one". eye openin'.

    Not a custom, but I'm sure it makes the purists cringe! Saw this one in Daytona.

    never liked a custom vette , to me the corvette is just fine the way it's built. all the body mods I've seen do nothing for me.
