Default One Strange Looking Corvette

It is said a picture is worth a thousand words. Or 5000 bucks, whichever comes first. Enjoy....

Wow, would you not think they would have at least gone with a split window. Sometimes people never cease to amaze me.

Be warned. That is not one of a kind. There are others.

It kinda looks cool with the throw back to a C2. Splits would be nice but likely harder to do to create the middle support.

Bodyman are very inventive in taking ideas out of the blue and then to the car. Unfortunately some ideas just end up as "bottle caps" and "dust on the floor". Nice to see one to fruition.

Special =

I blame for this, it happens. It has helped more good people make bad decisions along our history line than anything.

some were worse than others

this is an example

It isn't that bad looking actually. And as early 70's Buick Riviera's continue to rust from the floorboards up, you'll see more like this one.

By far the most buttfugly "off the shelf" rear treatment on a c3 is the family truckster wagonvette......gotta love them...the c2 rear on the c3 is actualy a popular custom, years ago places like Ecklers sold this kit, the one piece glass was easier and cheaper to get than the split window stuff so....but I have seen it both ways, while I dont like it as much on rubber bumper c3's it looks pretty good on the chrome bumper cars...but I know some will hate anything just because it's not stock....

NOOOO, they are the very rare limited addition corvette
ZR3/SS/RS/Z07 units, but I see where you could get a little confused, as with most GMs of the day they used the same mold to save on production costs.
