Modified C6 honors classics

What can you expect from an automaker that calls itself n2a, or No Two Alike? A very exclusive vehicle, no doubt about it. And what could be more exclusive than an automobile built over the Corvette C6 platform, but inspired by the 1957 Chevrolet Bel-Air and the 1958 and 1959 Chevrolet Impala? At this point, no answer would be easy, but we can provide the right one to you: look at the pictures on this article and consider yourself introduced to the n2a Motors 789.

The name of the car, 789, refers to the model years of the Chevrolet vehicles that inspired the creation of n2a. And you can spot the influences pretty easily. Check out the “hooded eyes” and the grille of the 1957 Bel-Air, the middle section and the tri-toned interior, typical of the 1958 Impala, and the rear end, a 1959 Impala key feature, with its”bird in flight” tailfins.

n2a promises its clients no car will be similar to any other, what will be easy to achieve, considering there are 10,000 different combinations for the interior, the paint schemes can be fully customized and that the company intends to produce only a limited series of 100 units. Although it appeals in a special way to classic car lovers, the 789 presents all the comfort and safety features modern vehicles offer. One of the most interesting ones is doubtlessly the V8 engine producing more than 400 hp. Since owners may choose whatever they want for the car, the LS9 engine from the ZR1 is also a possibility. What may not be accessible for most will be the price: US$ 135,000 for the “entry-level” turnkey 789.

interesting car. I would own one just so people would ask what on earth it was. Not to fond of the tail lights though, if the could have somehow been tied into the rear tail fins I am sure it would look nicer.

If I wanted an Impala or Bel-Air, I would get the original ones since they offer a flawless and more coherent design on their own.

This one looks quite disgusting... not for everyone's taste!

I would also go for the Challenger!

It looks like they threw in an impala, a vette windshield, and a front of a 57 chevy in a blender...this is what they got? I bet it does not have your daily vitamin C either.

The 789 is awesome! It may not be for the 'now generation' who is satisfied with ricegrinders, but for those of us old enough to have an appreciation for something other than a box with rounded-off corners and edges, it speaks loudly.
