And vettes? well... unlikely is all I would say. I've owned 4 of those already, and there is only one Corvette model left that I would have any interest in (64-67 hardtop roadster), and it would be a long search to find the right car to use as as a starting point for what I would do to it (because an NCRS concours restoration would be COMPLETELY off the table )

I'd build that sucker Guldstrand-style, with wide fenders, huge rubber, ginormous brakes, and 8 inch diameter sidepipes...

You know- the way a Chevy-powered Cobra SHOULD be built, hahaha
