Question Retro '62 Corvette Roadster

Not sure of where to post this, but it appeared in May 2007 issue of Motor Trend, and the Coachbuilder has a web-site. It looks really cool--very nicely done! It would be great to see a few more of the great vehicles from GM's heritage done similarly. Check it out:

Re: Retro '62 Corvette Roadster

very cool! The mirrors seem a little out of place, but other than that I love it!

Cool, but just how much does that cost seeing how it's carbon fiber?

Re: Retro '62 Corvette Roadster

Saw something similiar at McDorman's Corvette show a couple years ago. I'm not real impressed with current Vette styling, maybe GM could go the retro route on the next redesign? Done right, would really sell some cars I suspect.

No, the next Corvette should go wild, something like what Cadillac has done with the A&S theme.
