    Cool. As long as they aren't hacking up "real" Nomad's to make em I'm fine with it.
    Purty cool looking really.

    Just a bit too rich for my blood.

    I like it,but to be honest it's just another niche car for the super rich.

    I disagree - it's a work of art. Some day I'll be able to afford one:)

    Cheers,

    With such limited production numbers it'll become a "collectors" item and appreciate in value.
    I guess that's if they get any orders.
    My bet is that they won't get enough buyers to actually build very many.
    But if I had that kind of dough laying around, yah I'd buy one and drive the crap out of it.

    They will limit the build to 25 cars and they are not using Corvettes but making their own bodies. So it's not a factory car or a collectible. People are not going to fork over that kind of $$$$ to a unknown manufacture for a car that was never put into production.

    It's a kit car like Factory 5

    Their Type 65 Coupe looks pretty cool. Might have to start saving my money (and selling everything that isn't bolted down on craigslist, ebay, etc...)... but what I really want is a 71-73 B-body Mopar wagon.

    Cheers,
    Ken

    The silver one is a nice car.

    I have been a Tri-Five fan, especialy the Nomad, for years (all started when I was 6 and found out my Dad's first car was a 57 Chevy 2 door wagon) So basically anything I ever see that is tri-five or Nomad related I find myself looking into it.

    I seem to recall a few years back (maybe even more like ten years back) an article about a guy who took an original Nomad and put the Vette stuff on it to recreate a period correct 54 motorama Nomad.

    It was cool, well done, and at the time was the only one around. Despite the fact he changed an original car (sacralige to some) he did it in his garage with his own tools, time and moey.
