I think the car is beautiful but also don't think any purists will be won over. Even the not so hardcore purists take issue with my car and it's originalexcept a 95 LT1 and 17" wheels. I think the only way you have a fighting chance to win over those guys is to make it look 100 percent factory on the outside and interior.
Good luck with them, I wish I had the dough to buy one myself

If it's not numbers matching it's no good! 
Just kidding,
this a perfect example of what can be done to increase the riding and handling characteristic of a fine automobile that reflects the owners desires.
There is no doubt that the modifications have greatly increased the resale value, as others have also shown.

Yes Mike, the price is plus the donor car. How can I give a set price when the costs of the donor cars are all over the place and change daily? These are fully engineered modern sports cars with original bodies on them. Much more expensive to build than your typical restomod Corvette.

Here is the entire paragraph from our website for clarification:
These vehicles are priced to include everything out the door except the donor Corvette. Some customers have their own Corvettes they want to use or we can locate a donor car for you. if you are supplying the Corvette, it doesnt need to be running but must be a complete car. You may incur extra charges if the body is in very poor condition or missing pieces. Customer furnished cars will be evaluated on a case by case basis.

That shade of blue is very close to Arctic Blue used on '56 and '57's. Nice color, great looking car.

Great job. I like your concept better than the reskinned C6's I've seen, and I wouldn't mind one of those either.
How long does the build take, roughly, from the time the donor shows up at your door?
