I'd laugh my ass off if I ever saw one of these on the road.

to be honest, I like the front end... but after that... not my deal

If they would have used a 59 impala front it would be different.
That car reminds me of the Johnny Cash song 1 piece at a time. LOL

My favorite Man in Black song of all time!

Honey take me for a spin....

I could hear everybody laughing for blocks around.....

When they got through the title weighed sixty pounds.....

You might say I went right up to the factory and picked it up. It's cheaper that way....


Thanks, now I'm singing at work!


Well it's a 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 automobile....

The 789 is ugly. As ugly as a tojan kit car.

I don't understand why they used those three years. How about all 57?

I said it 2 years ago when it was first posted, and I'll say it again, not my cup of tea.

These guys were at SEMA this year. I like them, but don't I like them enough to want one.

I agree, the front end is cool

Before that one, was the Magna Steyr, but it was a Corvette retro to earlier '53 Vette styling:

I thought the front worked much better on this one, but I'd still keep my Vette stock, thank you.
I think the '61 tail treatment would have been a better choice.

The retro Vette works much better than the 789, which is a bit of a mess...to me anyway.

The other car they make is real nice looking.

I didnt think the retro corvette even worked out, did it? Has anyone really ever seen any of them out there? That 789 is a complete mess, what were they thinking.?

I've seen a couple of those retro "53" Vettes at various car shows.

Yeah, the front end's okay, but if you've ever seen one of those late '80s T-birds with the '50 Ford-ish front end kits, they look like crap in real life... Same goes for those truck kits.
