A little information and story of concept:
Myself with the help of genius Designer Eric Black wanted to design a Corvette with European sports car influence as though Gm wanted to market a 63 split window to the European market to compete with Ferrari, Mercedes, Jaguar ETC. all decisions were made to keep in that theme while building a Modern performing car with new technology available to make it drive like a new super car.
It’s been said by Several Notable builders, “The finest C2 vette to have been built”, another great compliment was “ Its like Singer Porsche built a Corvette.”
