Although I'm not sold on it I do appreciate the effort that went into producing it. Perhaps if the paint wasn't so busy it would be more appealing.

Looks like it had a run in with a box of Fruit Loops, or a roll of Lifesavers. Maybe Gummie Bears or M&Ms.
....or all the above.
I don't care for the headlight arrangement or the....paint job?
But that's me, what do I know? [&:]

It looks like a nice paint job but I am not crazy about the colors but body wise it looke like a corvette with comaro body parts added to it

Are those Datsun lights? A little too much for me.

I was thinkin' the headlights look like a Datsun Zcar and the tail lights like a 60's firebird. The nose looks like the 1964 Pontiac Banshee proto-type. with '68 Shelby side scoops on the pillars.The car actually might be sharp if it was a solid color...Saaaaay.......jet black. Have to do something with the nose though.

Default Datson and Corvette merge!

Looks like a Motion Performance car.
I just like the way a Vette looks on the outside, why try to improve on perfection. PG

In a word, yuk.

What a waste of a nice set of factory sidepipes. []

Doesn't it look like they chopped the top a few inches? I saw a 70 vette at a show in Seattle a few years back that was featured in Vette Magazine last year with a chopped top. That looked hot... about the same height as a GT40. Made it look really fast just sitting there. But this eBay abomination... will probably sell for a million bucks in Japan... those Datsun headlights you know!!!
