Love that blk convert!

I think it would be difficult to restomod our cars because they are so close to being what one is already. Killer motor with purpose & beauty, modern suspension, big wide wheels, great body lines. The thing that needs the most attention is the cheap plastic interior. A nice upgrade to Napa leather and Alcantara would go a long way in helpin in that department. JMHO :cheers:

This has to be one of the most impressive resto mods ever....upgrade the interior like this....deep dish wheels

I think it would neat to do a C7 interior/gages in a C4 and make it look like it was born there. That would be a geat start. Just don't put those Camaro tail lights on the C4. LOL

No doubt that the car had a ton of money spent on the build. It was just something about the car that wasn't right to me.

I like the engine, but nothing else about it. Not my cup of tea I suppose.

Yeah, me either. I much prefer the split window restomod in Vette magazine last month.

That thing is spectacular:dancing. All my cars for the last 40 yrs have
been convertibles. By far it is the one feature I miss
the most on the Z.:(

I was digging around the Vette Mag archives and came across this article.

The SB vert is now with a new owner. Hopefully he will find his way on here.
