What the Viper could have been in 1967!

Brazilian designer Rafael Reston [...] created a design for the Viper, as it would look had it come in 1967.

That is a cool design exercise, but I think we already know how a Viper would have looked in the 60s as it was inspired by the Shelby cars. You can see it's a combination of the Shelby Cobra (RT/10) and Shelby Daytona (GTS).

Hi,

The car pictures are very classic and old but look so good. Recent cars are very stylish and gorgeous with advanced and innovative specifications and features.

Is anyone planning to make a marque model for their company that will last for decades with only slight design and style changes as the years go by?

Like the Porsche 911, or even the VW Beetle?

Don't forget the Trabant! Only mayor changes from the early 1960's to 1989 was altered mirrors, door-handles, some trim and chrome and so forth. 1990 came the 4-stroke engine and a new grille!
So yeah, this one is a definitive challenge in the game, stick to the same body only changing engine, suspension and all the other bits "under the shell" so to speak.

20 years- Bronze medal
30 years- Silver medal
40 years- Gold medal
50 years- Ruby and diamond encrusted crown of awesomeness declaring you king of the Dino-cars!
