I'll be honest. I've seen a few glass replica, with Chevy engines. Nice cars. Not my thing, but I try not to hurt someones feeling. However I find the V10 Viper, the turbo V6, and a Hemi quite interesting, because they are quite different (my hat is off to them). I even started out thinking of a Modular 4.6 ltr ford. It doesn't bother me in a glass car, as it is a replica.

However since you asked and you need honest feedback to make sound buisness decisions, I'll be truthfull. If I walked up to a stunning aluminum Cobra to find a Corvette drive train, I would have the same reaction as to finding out a stunning woman in a bar is a cross dresser. I would walk away and keep my thoughts to myself.

I think you will find many positive comments on the car, but darn few of this crowd would actually shell out those type of bucks to have a cross dresser, when they can own an aluminum body, that is near origonal only better, for the same money. Do some searches of guys selling glass cars with Chevy engines. You will see they sell for less money and take longer to sell. I suspect the new owners swap out the drive train for a Ford many times.

Also if you are considering changing the styling of the head lights, you really do not understand this market.
