Default What do I have? 1962 on a C5?

Hi

We inherited the following vehicle, and I am trying to figure out what we have, so please bear with me as I do not know much about Corvettes (or cars in general)!

So it was a red 2002 convertible with about 10,500 miles on it, in excellent shape. Is this considered a C5 chassis?

The body has been changed to a 1962 body style, so now what do we call it?
Is it a "1962 corvette convertible on a C5 2002 chassis"?

It still needs to be painted though, and I beleive it the body is finished or mostly finished.

So my questions are:
(1) Is there a particular color that sells better than other colors?
(2) What is something like this actually worth (once painted)?

These are only pics I have right now ... will be receiving vehicle on the weekend and can provide better pics then.

Yes, a 2002 is a C5. C5 is 1997-2004.

Small pics, so it's hard to say much, but it's an unfinished project.

It's worth what someone will pay. To most buyers it's a butchered 25 year old chevy. Sorry.

If it was impeccably done, looked good, ran good, MAYBE you're looking at 30K. But it'll take a significant investment to get it to that condition.

You're probably better off selling it unfinished.
