His build thread is on that site too.

Best sounding street LSx I've heard so far. He gets on it about the 1 minute mark.

Looks like a pretty cool build.... and I'm not saying this to be mean - but this is one of those "just because you can, doesn't mean you should" kind of builds (to me). A C3 !!

The asking price of $55K --- for a car that most likely cost triple that to build is why I say what I say. The C3 body is not the most sought after Corvette in the history of the galaxy (Where's Al when you need him?).

The owner of the car owns www.vettetech.com -a well respected shop and I think its a great rolling advertisement.

Oh -- don't get me wrong Skip - the craftsmanship and "idea" is top notch. I just can't see doing all of this on a C3.

It's like doing a '54 Chevy instead of a '55.... come resale time which one is the smarter "investment" to sink a butt load of $$ in?

That's very kind and I could not agree with you more. It's not the most popular body style and certainly lower on the Corvette resale value. But I built it for me for various personal reasons at the time. Besides, everytime I look at it I just get a #@%^ng grin on my face. But that's me.

But I'm sure there is someone out there who will appreciate it the way I do and for what it is. Did it cost twice that to build, sure. But it was certainly not built as an investment but someone will benefit from that.

Thanks again,

Joe..

ps: It's one fun ride...

I like it and it's my favorite corvette body style. I'd change the wheels.

Greggers, you know better than that! How much of us build/modify these cars while even considering the meaning of the word "investment"? Nada. Zilch.




That LS does sound especially nice!
