That is pure beauty.

I love the "toothy" grille of the '59.

Wow is right!
I love the fact they used the C4 chassis parts and LT4 engine.
Most people doing something like that today would have went with an LSx engine.

Beautiful car.

While I tend to be a purist, that is absolutely gorgeous, and a car to be proud of! They have improved the performance and handling without destroying the classic looks. I would certainly give it 2 thumbs up

I am sure it does everything well, and maybe its just me , but there is something about a original that Retro cars just cant touch.

You know, I was never a big fan of the C1s, but the older I get the more I like them
