I also agree and suggest they swap out the wheels for a more retro Nomad look. The stock polished spokes look out of place IMO.
There was an earlier post from a member considering painting his dashboard red. I hope he sees this.

From here it looks good, I don't know what it's like in person. Even if it's perfect, they're not going to get close to the number.

The selling dealer proclaims that it has 550HP, whereas the "build sheet" denotes a stock 350HP engine. Perhaps the dealer meant to say that there's enough cargo area to carry an extra 200HP.

My wife would like that one. At lot of extra room to pack all her clothes.
A little too much red with that interior but nicely done overall. The ad says 550hp on a stock engine. I don't think so.

My 2 cent,, not my cup of tea... to much C5 and Nomad combination, should be more Nomad, it doesn't sit well in my eyes... But on the other hand, it is different and I'm sure someone out there will say "Wow, I love it" and have the only one on the block. It looks like a kit car that didn't want to invest in to much Nomad parts... ;(...

Another perfectly good C5 hacked into an abomination (or is it OBAMAnation?)

I've seen these conversions done to look like a 54 roadster but, as a Nomad.......................Nah! Doesn't work for me.

Not very well done at all, IMO. Too much early vet and not enough nomad. I built/was party to building 4 nomads back in the day. They should at least tried to make a 55, 56, or 57 rear and/or front on this thing. It looks like a pick-up with a cab that does not fit right. Looks like it was made from wrong non fitting parts to me.

Really don't care for the look, but it does seem to be well built. Don't know where they came up with the 550hp number. And I sure wouldn't pay $95K for it.
