Dayum !



Never seen that done to a corvette before !
Hummer yes, Mini Cooper yes, but corvette, No.
Wonder if it still uses the same power plant and whether it is still a rear wheel drive ?

There was an earlier post on the forums with the c3 one too...

Must be torture on those rear transverse springs

The Corvette America (4 seater) was offered as a conversion through Chevy dealers, IIRC. Corvette Fever had an article on one several years ago.

4 seater corvette ? how stupid, sort of defeats the entire purpose of the car, as does the limo.

The C3 was on ebay and it was used in a movie with Ben Stiller called Mystery Men or something to that extent. I don't think it sold because of the reverse.
