'71 Stingray Project C3 Triple-EX

[6 Shooter]

​

RESTORING and modifying a performance car-be it a Corvette or other some brand-involves many complex processes and decisions. From the inception of the project, the end result must be envisioned by the builder in order for the car to meet the desired goals of the build. Being VETTE magazine, our vision for our C3 project car was not foreseen as a run-of-the-mill restoration, but rather as a highly modified, fun-to-drive automobile. With this in mind, we decided to build the car for all-around performance, starting with the basics of safety, and then upgrading the car's systems for an eventual engine swap to a more powerful mill.

That car looks like a 1973 to me.

I've been somewhat following this article in the magazine. It is an aftermarket front end.

The front looks aftermarket and with the wiper door removed it appears to be a 1973 at a glance. It does have the fiber optic center console from a 1971 though. If I had to count all the parts and body panels that were correct on my car I could do it on two hands.

Does anyone else that peruses Vette magazine think Jay Heath (editor) is an elitist? :confused

Sure likes to use $.75 words in his editorials.
