Post in the C3 Parts For Sale/Wanted forum. Several people there have Greenwood or Eckler's Corvettes.

Yeah the light blue Greenwood car looks great but I think that was one of there last and it was a Kevlar body.

The earlier wide body kits are probably still around and a few racers do post in the C3 section so as suggested I'd check there.

- Tracy Performance lists that they have kits but no images

Most of the folks are going with the L88 type flares used on the pre mid 70's cars.

Kerry Hitt at ACP may still have some molds or at least he would likely know who does.

Eckler's has re-released the Can Am body kit. Idon't like the fake openings in the rear quarters or the huge spoiler which catches rain like a cistern. I know cause it's what's on my car.

Lance Smith has restored a few of the real Greenwood Customer Cars and has molds for the correct bodywork (but not the John Paul car you have pictured I believe).
Last I heard he could be reached at:
racerods@yahoo.com

That's a pretty good price for body kit on the Miami car. Get rid of the rear window shades and paint the car a different color ……

I wonder who made the body kit?

Stinger Fiberglass in Titusville Fl still makes the Greenwood inspired Eckler Can Am body

Not as wide as the 75-76 race version but similar look.

Shows installed on a finished car...I think I'd rather see pix of the pieces/parts for condition and what may be missing.
