No. It was classic because it was done right. The wheels, tires are not right for this care. Maybe the 2015 vette

Meh, I'd drive it but it's been too modernized while making a lame attempt to keep it original. Stupid-big fender flares don't match the lines.
Look at that big lexan stock-car spoiler. Really? My dad had a red '63 split-window, he regrets selling it every time we talk about it. |

Whoever did the flaring on the rear should be beat with a tire iron.

/DRIVE on YouTube did a segment on this bad red machine a while back. The flares are there to cover up the massive tires-315-30-18. |

That thing is butt ugly and those wheels look retarded. I don't get it what was the point? To screw up a classic? You could put ten foot wide tires on that thing and its still gonna handle like a brick unless you seriously modify the suspension at which point you shouldve just got a c5+ to begin with.

Those types of modded classics have 2 windows of glory, the immediate present (where the "style" is en vogue) and maybe a follow on renaissance 20-30 years later.
Otherwise, they will be the source of many "what were we thinking" retrospectives that litter automotive history. |
