What is it ? Corvette ?

Hello Together,

I was wondering if the second car on the last pic

of this EbaySale is a Corvette ?

Does someone know this ?

Thanks

Frank

Looks like someone modded a C4 or C5 to look like a ´57 vette. Wierd but to each his own...

The 57s never had a windshield angle like this one. I'm sure it is a late model with a kit for 57 designed looks. The top of square design looks newer also.

Hard to say. I'm guessing a C3 conversion. Kinda-sorta nice work.

Yeah the roof line looks like a C3. This would've worked much better with a roadster, but oh well.

There is a least one outfit that makes add on body parts that use a Camaro, Firebird and/or Tbird, I think as a host. They already have a 57 Chevy and a few more, but were going to make a Corvette. Saw them at the Turkey run in Daytona. Looks like one of these.

The purist-at-heart side of me thinks what a shame, but it is kinda cool though.

Uh if he had a 57 body why didn't he just restore it? I wonder if he went back with the Cross Fire.

Would it be a convertible? Did the hatchback area get covered?

Haha would be nice to see some progress pics of this conversion and reasoning as to why the 57 wasn't restored.

Would have been really cool if it were a vert.

I like it with exception of the top. The line of the top just doesn't seem to work with the flow of the rounded body panels.
