Just searching my local website 'Gumtree' here in Australia and spotted this custom vehicle ad. Now, I'm not a fan of picking someone's ride apart, and appreciate all the work that goes into such a custom build, but I just don't get the styling on this. What do you think? Would you drive it? https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/bibra-lake/cars-vans-utes/chevrolet-corvette-belair-impala-custom-789-n2a-motors/1241650617

As I started to read the description:
a combination of the best of three classics mounted on top a Le Mans-winning 2008 Corvette C6 chassis, the 789 has the hooded eyes and chrome grille of a '57, a mid-section that's reminiscent of the '58 Impala and the "bird in flight" rear tail fins of a Chevy '59.

Hmm, I find myself thinking. Then I clicked through the images.....

These three vehicles are all instantly recognisable classics - judge for yourself how well they work together in a single design.

Wait, wha...? Am I judging too harshly? Noooo, I don't think I am.

The N2A moniker is an abbreviation of No Two Alike, which refers to the company's policy of building truly unique vehicles for each and every customer. of all of these beautiful vehicles there will be No 2 Alike.

Well, that's a relief, imagine seeing two of them together.

Batmobile... Someone sure put a lot of work into it though. Have to admire the craftsmanship.

I think that is a kit of some sort that is based on a C5 Corvette chassis. Not my cup of tea for sure and I hope the personalized tag is correct (N2ALIKE).

Another example of "just because you can, doesn't mean you should".

I saw one in the flesh a number of years ago at B-J Scottsdale. It was just on display there, a fairly new product at the time. Certainly not my cup of tea, but it did appear to be pretty nicely done on the outside.

kind of looks like a T-bird, not really liking it.
