1957, 1958 & 1959 All Rolled Into One!


This car was built by N2A motors (No Two Alike).
Unbelievable! The company is planning a production run
Of about 100 vehicles.. It sits on a Corvette C6 chassis,
Front styled like a 57 Chevy, side like a 58, rear like a 59.
Hence the designation "789."

It's unique, and nice, for sure.

My personal opinion/taste?.... Not that great looking of a car...

I think it appeals to the taste of older men more than younger people but with 440-800 HP It would be a blast to drive and I'd take one over a vette any day. But you have to buy the corvette and then pay them 80,000 to do the conversion.....:ermm:

That might be the ugliest custom vehicle I have ever laid eyes on. Looks PS'ed to me....maybe its just my disbelief. :D :huh

I do believe any fan of classic Chevy iron would be in the same category as myself with the evaluation of this thing. I don't see anyone over the age of ~40 liking it either. This is almost as bad as putting a Ford engine into a Chevy.

Thats all just IMHO though. ;)

this is really old news. these pictures are at least 3 years old and have been floating on the interwebs since.

And as a guy that works on old cars daily and lives eats and sleeps hot rods and customs (with quads thrown in) my opinion is it's really damn ugly.

Is this car inspired by that Johnny Cash song or something?

It's sad to think they probably hacked up a Corvette to make that:ermm:

"Well, it's a 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59 Automobile...... It's 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65."

Ha... If it was a Caddy, your comment would be even more relevant.

From wiki ...

"One Piece at a Time" is a humorous rockabilly song written by Wayne Kemp[1] and recorded by Johnny Cash in 1976.

The song tells a story from the point of view of a Detroit auto worker who watches Cadillacs roll by day after day on the assembly line, all the while knowing that he will never be able to afford one on his salary.

Envious, he and a co-worker decide to steal a Cadillac, using their assembly line jobs to obtain the parts via salami slicing. The singer takes the small parts by hiding them in his large lunchbox, while larger parts are smuggled out via his co-worker's mobile home.

Many years later, the friends attempt to put all the pieces together. They are able to achieve their goal, albeit with a very odd-looking vehicle: as it was created from parts of many different models (years 1949 to 1973), it required extensive effort to make the differing model parts fit together. The vehicle title document weighed 60 pounds, requiring the entire staff at the courthouse to type it.
