Red on Red '69 RS/SS (clone?) Convertible Restomod

I could do without the 'modern' gauges but overall I think this one is quite nice. I'm assuming it's a clone as I don't know why you'd restomod a documented RS/SS, but the seller does say the SS hood is original so who knows. In any case a LS3 and 6-speed does sound interesting but I'm not quite ready do to that to any of my personal cars...still prefer the old carbureted stuff.

I like the red on red deluxe. Tastefully done and so glad they didn't install wagon wheels on it. Looks like it should.

I like it - pretty much the way I would do a restomod. I agree that I would prefer the old-school gauges, and I would relocate the coil packs and install some nice looking valve covers.

To be nit-picky, I would have spent a little more time to get the stripe correct.

Does this car have a narrower than stock rear end? I realize the rear wheels are custom width, but they seem to have a lot of negative offset. I love the wide tires on the back, but I think it would look nicer with a little more positive offset to make them match the fronts a little better. Still, a nicely executed car. I'll be watching this one.

Interesting! Looks like an original Convertible with Air conditioning! not that common
