Icon14 The 789 Chevy

This little Chevy is just too cool!

This car was built by N2A motors (No Two Alike). Cost is $40,000 over the cost of a new
Corvette C6 (MSRP $44,000). Unbelievable! The company is planning a production
run of about 100 vehicles. It sits on a Corvette C6 chassis, front styled like a 57 Chevy,
side like a 58, rear like a 59. Hence the designation "789". Scroll down and drool

I checked on it. It is $135k. A tad out of my reach.

Beautiful set of wheels, Paulie. Thanks for sharing those pics.

You and Kelly would look good in it.....you'd have to wear a pin-stripe suit, of course!!!

Killer retro rod! Love the '59 rear treatment. Looks like something Chip Foose would dream up!

Very cool. I see a lot of influences there. Looks like one Jay Leno would snag for his collection.
