Bill , it does not matter if it is real or not. There were far too many old Corvettes sitting on modern chassis with newer engines etc, and they where between 200,000.00 and 300,000.00 dollars . I can sort of understand wanting a car like that , but personally I would have had it built, I know that there would be stuff I would want different. Everyopne is the US must be just rich!!!!!!!!
