Default Interesting front end treatment...

Is this a one off or some kit? This front end on this 'Vette on Ebay looks kinda neat!

Custom front end on 1980 Vette

But I am not crazy about the interior color.

Eckler's has something similar to that.

I like that car. I usually dont like interiors unless they're tan, grey, or black but that's not too bad.

Nice car except for that "ricer wing" hanging off the back, the interior looks pretty well stock , maybe just needs freshning up ? Peace,,,Moosie

I have the Eckler's version and it is different as already mentioned. That one is a Vanacor version that can be found here: http://www.vanacorvette.com/page22.htm

That is a good looking late model C3. The kit for the front spoiler and rear wing is readily available. However, there are some nice one-off touches done on this Vette. The front spoiler was glassed onto the body (no seam) and the brake ducts in front of the front wheels. Looks as id they used the side vent covers and cut them down to 3 holes across and glassed them into the ground effects. Nice touch.

I think it looks pretty good/interesting especially in black.

The car overall looks pretty nice.

It looks similar to the Daytona front end.



What is different is the scoop for the turn signal. Looks like it may have been the Daytona front modified to fit, without the Z28 louvers on top of the fenders. The rear wing looks like a modified C4 wing. I think it is a bit of overkill with the '80-82 spoiler.



Overall, I think the car looks good, and I am not crazy about the '80-82 front ends normally.
