Wide body
About 1975, 1976 Ecklers had the wide body kits along with the hatch back kit. And L88 hood.
I wanted all of the above, for my 75 coupe. But ended up with the L88 hood and the ZL1 flares.
Have driven two wide body vetts, its deceiving looking in the rear view mirrors .

It's the 4 big black rubber cow catchers on the bumper that looks awful. I'm not sure what protection they would offer in a rear end collision. 
I am a firm believer that people are more that welcome to customize their rides anyway they see fit.
Just don't expect everyone to appreciate the end result...

I like wide bodies, I even have two myself, but that rear bumper treatment is aweful, IMHO.
Wonder what will ever happen to this one, I bet it will probably show up sometime later on the net for sale with a high price tag claiming some ultra rare history.
Although I love customs as well as stock corvettes, always its good to keep in mind that rare and desireable are not always linked together.
