Look at the corvette logo in the glove box door.

Actually, I thought it was a terrible chop! It was definitely a quick and dirty chop. That passenger side mirror looked pretty bad too.

You're just being polite. And you're not even Canadian!

OK, we know that correct answer is 'none'. But why would The Saint want one?

NONE were factory built, but many were converted, mainly in Australia. Bob Korkes of Korky's Kustoms in the San Fernando Valley built the RHD C3 for the film "Corvette Summer".

The book is much better than the film.
