Folks Of Interest Does this sad Corvette belong to a member here?

Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder. It takes much less beer for you than it does me to see the beauty in that.
Not everyone likes the same thing, which is good. I’m not a purist, I’m a hot rodder, but I can appreciate some things custom done. That’s what’s great, we can agree to disagree, or at least I hope we can!

 

Very well said !!!! The world would very boring if we all liked the same thing .

 

I’m grabbing the next pump off a Tommy lift gate

just incase I find a burnt vette

 

I’m not a corvette guy but that one gets me all excited just the right amount of Kustom

 

That particular corvette was here in Washington state a few years ago, some of the my photos of it.

 

Highly subjective...

 

I really like this one

 

Did ya get those skirts built yet? My 57 really needs em

 

In this day and age that vette could be put back too 100% or kustomized easily. Either way I wouldn’t mind being the proud new owner!

 

Need some?
How bout cruiser style?

 

I remember decades back 'vettes were often stolen BECAUSE the parts were worth more than the whole.
I don't play in that neighborhood of car stuff, but I'd guess that it is still true.
I'd rather see it fixed, but the owner or insurance probably isn't going to get hurt if it's parted properly, not just sent to copart.

 

I think the style i like are called bubble skirts

 

This is a serious question. Is that grille from a Studebaker Lark?

 

tubman, the vette grille is peaked top to bottom. Doubt that's the one used.

Looks more like a Hawk grille.

 

I thought it looked familiar.

 

I'm surprised there's a question as to whether that car is fixable, it looks like it just needs a front clip, some wiring and probably some top end engine stuff. I'd consider that an easy fixer.

And I'm all-in on the canted quad cars, too. Although if I was actually going to do one, I'd have bought the one that was in the classifieds a few years ago, the one with the grille bar that was such a mystery it took like a year to ID it. That car had history to go with the custom work, which makes it all the better in my book. I really hope there's a restoration ongoing for that one.

 

The red 53 is a nice looking car. Quite a few of the canted headlight customs were monstrosities...

 

I think it’s perfect as is!

Thank ya sir, i like it

 

Well, since it's damaged, gray primer, steelies with pie crusts in the back and TT's up front & the I beam trick to get it up a little (sorry Anthony!). 301 sbc with a pair of AFBs.

 

Don’t care , the haters can hate ! Early ‘Vettes lend themselves nicely to stacked quads and being customized !!

the grill treatment leaves something to be desired in my eye . But the rest of the mods are damn near perfect !!


If the grill was left stock size and filled with 53 Chevy grill teeth I think it would set the car off perfectly !!

 

Go for it, dude! I've never seen a 'Vette with a leaning tower of power. Heck, I'll bring the beer.

 

Yep I love slant sixes one cool little engine gotta love the intake , putting one in a vette with canted lights would send a few vette purist over the edge, yep beer and popcorn.

"Hyper-Pak"!

 

How about the Pontiac sprint 6 cyl?

 

might be tall enough that you can't run a hood?

 

Polish the aluminum valve cover then

 

Yeh those also ,don’t see many anymore, a friend had one in HS
