SEMA winner and auction winner '62 Corvette

First-generation Corvettes aren't my favorites in bone-stock form, but customized they are some of the best-looking cars period. My current favorite, a 2009 SEMA winner of the GM Design Award for Best Hot Rod built by Roadster Shop, sold at the 2013 Barret-Jackson Automobile Auction for $360,000. Something about those C1 bodies when you slam them, throw some nice rims on them covered in big ol' fat rubber makes them scream. The general body shape was about the only thing resembling it's original form, with carbon fiber and aluminum here, there, everywhere, and amazing interior work. An LS7 427 CID motor turns out 618hp on this amazing build.
