Customs The Asteroid and the Rondine Corvettes

I've read about these legendary Vettes, but I never got to see them up close and personal, til this past weekend in Pa. The Nordskog Asteroid is a wild simultaneous street/strip interpretation of the iconic Vette, while the Rondine (pronounced Ron dee nay) is a European inspired interpretation from the Pininfarina studio. Both take hours to take in all the details and are quite amazing in their own way. First the Rondine.....pardon my my crappy cell phone pix:









And now the Barris Asteroid. Love it hate it, it's fuckin cool!

 

unique

 

Interesting....I got pics somewhere of a V...... corvette, that was a 63 FI car that shipped to Italy for a make over, simular to the first one you posted. Wonder how many vettes were sent out for weird shit like that?

 

damn it...i have pics of the actual car in a friends garage from years ago when he worked in the FI...
but I believe this is the car, just thought it was a 63

The Italians got it right.

The asteroid looks like a bass fishing boat

 

That chrome six pack set up sure would look killer on my coupe !!! Or any hot rod.

 

Of course it does. Nordskog made millions in the boat industry. He probably even dictated the gold flake, and it might even be a gel coat rather than paint.

 

I'll take the blue one, the other still looks like a corvette.
