Cool Rides - Part 8

[Pickles]

I know this one will get some hate,

personally I can't stand the wheels but would be a very big dollar build.

Yes, no doubt a mega build, but does not appeal to me at all.
If I had the dollars to "build" something, I'd be restoring body & interior to stock, but with an upgraded engine, driveline & brakes.
I've seen some good stuff on "Kindig Customs" & "Iron Resurrection" & whilst Chip Foose is obviously very talented, He's much too "over the top" for me.

Karen's favorite model Corvette, personally I prefer the later 427/454 big block models, but there's no doubt that a nice original one of these is pretty special.

Imagine how cool one of these would have looked back in 1955?

This one sold for a pretty good price, a world record in fact,.......by a large margin!

I recognized Stirling Moss & Fangio's heads but was not certain from where?
