That is what I thought, where would you get parts to restore it. But it is such a cool car, it seems a shame to waste it. As it was glass, and so is the vette, seems like a good match to build a tribute resto mod. Independent suspension front and rear, slam it to the ground with tires that fill the wheel wells. Sexy. The studebaker avanti ended up being built later as the avanti II because it was such a cool looking car, especially for the time of the first production. There was a company taking your older vette and turning them into a split window vette. To me it just seems like such a waste when it was such a beautiful piece of art. Merry Christmas
