This 1959 Corvette takes the idea of restoring a classic car to the next level. In fact, apart from those glorious looks it shares little with the original ’59 Vette. This car is the winner of GM Design Award at 2011 SEMA. It’s got a 700-hp engine, and it looks very scary, but in a good way. In this video Jay asks Sean Cassar, the man behind this project, what on earth possessed him to come up with such a beast.
