Obviously it's an octopus as it can change colors ( colours )

Body kit on a C5 or C6 chassis. Seen a few of them at car shows. Windshield is the giveaway.

Lack of proportions, overall, is another.

I don't know who makes them, but the deal is you bring them your C5/C6 and about 50K and they give you what's in the pics. Same interior and windshield. They're a little lower, wider and longer then the C1s and C2s they are copying.

There was a '53 version that was made when the C5s were out also. The ones in your pics are C6s, I'm pretty sure.

Don't care for it.

If I wanted a 'new' C2, I would go with one of the Superformance Grand Sport's.




Or just buy the real deal.

I agree. Most Corvette purists think they are an abomination. They are for the people who put Lambo doors on their C6 and park them at the show with both doors in the up position. If you like having people come up to you at a car show and ask the same questions over and over again, this is perfect for you.

I must admit, they do look better in person that they do in pictures.

That's a body kit for a newer vette, made to look like a mid year 65 or so. they also make ones that look like a 62 or even older....,


....or how about a split window C5!


this is just a funny shopped pic.....


AND.....during the 60s they also made a body kit that was very close to a real C2 that mounted on a Chevelle frame. It came with a trunk, and a painted windshield frame which were the telltale give-aways.....solid rear axles.


Or,......how about a 63 split window back end on a C1 front end all mounted on a C4 chassis....


...or a 62 body kit for a C5?
