Put me on the list. I can only guess at total cost..being that you start with a C6, and then add to that the cost of the body transformation.

I would guess it would cost $25 - $30 AFTER the car was purchased.

I do want one bad...I was just thinking a few days ago how I might be able to modify the body of a C6 to look more like a C3.

Awesome! Need to shorten the stripe, add a little bit of an L88 hood design and throw on some sidepipes.

That beats the living hell out of a C5/6....


Maybe use the 68/69 gills instead?

1. Option sidepipes.

2. Option wider flares and BIG rubber.

3. Option vert.

The back is very inelegant, like that of the new Camaro. Still, not a bad starting point.

I'd like to see the front changed up a bit to include some grilles or something, but that concept is gorgeous!

The back is a little too GT Fordy-ish for my taste but overall, well done. And the way the domestic market is going, they may get combined anyway. /:\

Aw man, there it is in yellow. Aw man. I'm cashing out my 401k. Where do I send the check. Aw man, can I get it with the ZR1 engine? Aw man, I can't breath. Can I get mine with red stripes. My heartbeat is eratic. Honey, if I drop dead, use the insurance money to get me one of these. Aw man.

I like it. It has pop up headlights like the C3s do. That is a good touch. And does that thing have a trunk hidden in the decklid.
