Default 2007 Chevette pics

My brother sent me these from the NCRS show in Old Town. It is a 07 C6 with a Chevelle body - think it made it through judging

The guy did a very nice looking job on it. It's for sale.

Somebody sure put a lot of time and money into converting an 07 into a 68 chevlle body. It looks kinda cool

The Che-Vette was me - the owner probably wouldn't find the humor. I think he wants $125K for it. It was a totaled Cr with just body damage and I think that is a 67 Chevelle not a 68.

Possibly one of the worst car ever.

1967 Chevelle had a different body style. That is a 1968 or 1969 body.

Hmmmm as a past owner of a '68 Chevelle, it may be a combo of a 68 and a '69.

68 was the last year for the front vent windows; this car doesn't have any, but those are 68 tail lights. I know this is correct unless the verts had different window config. Mine was a coupe.

First thing I saw is that the grille treatment is a lot different from a 67, and the '67s' were a lot more of an angular/sharper body style.

I like this car a LOT!

Hi Steve!

It is very nice close up too, a real nice build...i don't know about $125,000 tho
He said he and his wife built it in one year...she painted it...

Hey Gary, I thought you had said 67 and I always think of 68 having those weird horseshoe shaped taillights but I guess that is just on the Impala. Call me later and let me know how the show went/is going.

Not quite sure.... First impression is someone who has more money & time than sense. Definitely different and outside the box.

I think the $125,000 asking price is justified. Considering there is nothing else out there like that and it's a one-off.

Cool car, does it even have a rear seat?

I don't remember it having a rear seat. It was next to this RR I was looking at, so I gave it a brief look. It appeared to be good craftsmanship, but honestly it didn't appeal to me. Maybe the wheels made it look too pimped or something.

BTW, I got a chuckle out of the sign on the Rolls. They say it won't ever go down in value, yet they'd reduced the price down to $20,000 from $25,500.

And SIGNGUY, that was a great set-up you had.....

I had a 68 as well. Those aren't 68 doors, they're off a 69. Also not sure what's going on with that fuel filler door on the left quarter. It was orginally behind the rear license plate.

Of course, he's done a lot to make it non stock, so a few other things won't matter.

Definitely 68 front and rear ends.

I think Corvelle would be a better brand name for it. I bet he laid awake lots of nights wondering how he was going to make certain things work.
