This little Chevy is just too cool!


This car was built by N2A motors (No Two Alike).

Price of a turn key 789 Chevy is $135,000.
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".

I guess I won't be getting either:(

I can't decide if I like it or not, guess I'll stick with my truck.
 
Doesn't do a thing for me! I loved the 57's had a 60 Belair and hated the fins. Combining all the models with a modern side view mirror, wheels and tires gives it a freakish look.
 
Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, Shawn. It looks like you and I are the only two wearing glasses because that is one sharp piece of sheetmetal!!! I think the only mod I'd make is the paint job. Other than that, if I had an extra $135k, I'd put my name on the waiting list. There's sure to be a waiting list.
 
I really like it also. But my preferred old beast would be a 1967 2dr Chevelle Super Sport. They are hard to find.:(

They're not too hard to find, Mike. Can you say Barrett-Jackson? If you don't care about matching numbers, $36,000 will put you in a nice coupe. Of course, a perfect-in-every-respect convertible will set you back $102,000.

Not hard to find the car. Just hard to find the wherewithall.
 
I was thinking when I saw the title of the post that someone had made a 789 CI engine and put it in some crazy car. I am relieved to see that was not the case :D
 
I used to own two of those cars... a 64 & 65 corvette and my very first car ever was a '59 Impala.. previous owner had put what we called an "Okie rake" on it..(Lowered the rear end) and at about 85 or 86 MPH I could nearly get that thing airborne... a cross wind was really fun to drive in.

Looks like the old Johnny Cash song about the 1980-91-82-83-84-85-Cadillac put together from pilfered parts...
 
Does this remind anyone else of the old Johnny Cash song "One Piece at a Time"?
Well, I left Kentucky back in '49
An' went to Detroit workin' on a 'sembly line
The first year they had me puttin' wheels on cadillacs

Every day I'd watch them beauties roll by
And sometimes I'd hang my head and cry
'Cause I always wanted me one that was long and black.

One day I devised myself a plan
That should be the envy of most any man
I'd sneak it out of there in a lunchbox in my hand
Now gettin' caught meant gettin' fired
But I figured I'd have it all by the time I retired
I'd have me a car worth at least a hundred grand.

[ CHORUS ]
I'd get it one piece at a time
And it wouldn't cost me a dime
You'll know it's me when I come through your town
I'm gonna ride around in style
I'm gonna drive everybody wild
'Cause I'll have the only one there is a round.

So the very next day when I punched in
With my big lunchbox and with help from my friends
I left that day with a lunch box full of gears
Now, I never considered myself a thief
GM wouldn't miss just one little piece
Especially if I strung it out over several years.

The first day I got me a fuel pump
And the next day I got me an engine and a trunk
Then I got me a transmission and all of the chrome
The little things I could get in my big lunchbox
Like nuts, an' bolts, and all four shocks
But the big stuff we snuck out in my buddy's mobile home.

Now, up to now my plan went all right
'Til we tried to put it all together one night
And that's when we noticed that
something was definitely wrong.

The transmission was a '53
And the motor turned out to be a '73
And when we tried to put in the bolts
all the holes were gone.

So we drilled it out so that it would fit
And with a little bit of help with an A-daptor kit
We had that engine runnin' just like a song
Now the headlight' was another sight
We had two on the left and one on the right
But when we pulled out the switch all three of 'em come on.

The back end looked kinda funny too
But we put it together and when we got thru
Well, that's when we noticed that we only had one tail-fin
About that time my wife walked out
And I could see in her eyes that she had her doubts
But she opened the door and said "Honey, take me for a spin."

So we drove up town just to get the tags
And I headed her right on down main drag
I could hear everybody laughin' for blocks around
But up there at the court house they didn't laugh
'Cause to type it up it took the whole staff
And when they got through the title weighed sixty pounds.

[ CHORUS ]

[ Spoken ] Ugh! Yow, RED RYDER
This is the COTTON MOUTH
In the PSYCHO-BILLY CADILLAC Come on

Huh, This is the COTTON MOUTH
And negatory on the cost of this mow-chine there RED RYDER
You might say I went right up to the factory
And picked it up, it's cheaper that way
Ugh!, what model is it?
