What kind of ZO6 is this??? Right hand side drive in america?

I was looking at some pictures when I came across this corvette that was in a corvette show in Brisbane. Note look at the location of the steering wheel, brake booster, and the battery.

Ummm, I think that would be Brisbane, Australia, not California or ND. The QLD license plate = Queensland, Australia.

It is amazing how good it looks after, I would probably die if I heard how much the conversion costs.

There are a few RHD Corvettes about.
There are mostly in Australia / New Zealand
There is one for sale in Cape Town South Africa also.
Enormously expensive, almost double the cost of your Regular C6
edit. . .
A lot of LHD / RHD conversions are performed in Aus.
I have a link to a brand new C6 that has been done.
I will look for it and post up.

Pretty slick flip! You Photoshop guru! You forgot just one thing. The license plate is backwards now and so is the rest of the text in the picture!

I like the backwards text. Especially the "ETTEVROC" on the fuel rail covers.

If I had the money, I'd be driving a car with the steering wheel IN THE MIDDLE! You know, like the Mclearan F7!

Ummm . . . ND has a Bisbee and a Bismarck, but we do not have a Bisbane, so it definately is not a ND car

I wonder how they replace the battery in that thing? Have to remove part of the a/c system and the windshield washer tank? Might be easier just to remove the left quarter panel?
