Default Not Your Average C-3 That You See At Vette Shows...Something Different..

I was at The 1st Annual "Steel Wheels" Car show at Smithville NJ at Village Green. I was walking around checking out street rods and classics when I ran across this unusual 77 Vette Cp. The motor was fitted with a Paxton Supercharger and what looks like a Lingenfelter intake. The under hood finish work was really sharp. But what got me was the interior and the the Custom Dash.. Very nice.. here's one pick to look at and a link to the others.

It was a pleasure to see something different for a change.

SORRY FOR ALL THE GACK IN THE LINKS..I'LL MAKE ANOTHER POST BELOW AND ADD WHAT'S MISSING. MY PUTER ...See My other post below for the pic's

That car is awesome. I love custom work. My dream is to get into the business of custom work when I get older cause I love it so much. I got so many good ideas for my car from that car. Thanks for sharing. :seeya :thumbs:

Intake is a Superram by Lingenfelter/Accel. It is designed for high flow/high RPM. Supercharger will increase intake velocity at lower RPM. Should be a real strong performer with the proper cam.
