CE Vert on eBay
I used to own an 81 that was converted to a vert and have always had one of these 82 vert clones as one of my "if I won the Lotto this is one of the Corvettes I would buy".
This one is based on an 80 with many of the CE options. Sounds interesting but I am not in the market anymore. If I was then I think I would want an LS2 motor in it.

Hi,
It's strange to see a conversion with the top up.
I think often the 'details' for having a working top don't get worked out on 'car port' conversions.
So this one looks especially nice.

Alan

....it is very nicely done. I like it, hell I may bid on it.
Only thing different that I would have done is to have used a real '80 4spd car.........or how about an L-82 1980, correctly converted to a 4spd L-82 1980, then into a CE convertible.

Car is interesting indeed. I wonder why someone put that much time and money into that conversion? The interior would not have been cheap, and the graphics were not cheap either. Then there is the conversion. I would assume 2 different cars were built into one.
BTW, I would think if you wanted it to appear as a CE, the many stripes would have been added. When I first saw the pictures, I knew something was missing.
