I kind of like it....
just 'cause its how a bunch of today's '67 restored cars looked like 35 years ago...kinda like a good "before and after" example that can be used in judging school All joking aside, believe it or not, these cars like this are getting fewer and fewer, if they all keep getting body off restored our children may never know what a "real" Corvette looked like in the '70's.Comment

All kidding aside our 63 that ironically came from (and still is) from AZ had this same front end on it. It is now restored correctly. see this old thread:

I quote the seller:
"I refused 15,211 so when someone offers a more realistic figure I will hope that the guys out there will regret passing on a real corvette muscle car . With a super show winning paint job and most real collectors dream car ."
I guess... uh... I'm not a real collector then. I have never dreamed of owning such a car. NEVER.Comment

Jerry
Years ago I drove a shark to Bloomington that was a fuel injected tilt front end wagon back or hatch..can't remember exactly...but it was a very cool car and very well done.
It didn't get much respect at the time by Corvette people..but custom people loved it...including me.
If I find a picture of ..I will post it.
That car was certainly part of that Corvette time frame and what was going on.
Merry Christmas

Re: I kind of like it....
With the over-restoration so common and the "restoration" done by many today (look at ebay, they are all "restored"), most don't know what they really looked like from the factory.
Not all Corvettes in the '70s looked like they were conceived during some drug-induced dream. Many were modified for specific reasons, most of which were racing or speed related. Wide tires, more horsepower, and so on often required flares, hood scoops, and such. Also, removing bumpers and such gave cleaner lines. Look at the 1959 Stingray. Then look at the '62 Shark.
I'm not crazy about the mottled paint scheme, but I kind of like the car. It is the sort of Corvette you can go out, romp around on a Saturday cruise night, take out on some back roads and romp on. You aren't worried about a scratch, or someone sitting on a fender at a show. A different paint scheme, nicer wheels, better sidepipes, and it would look good.
After all, which is a cleaner look, this one below
