The car has some visual cues that remind me of the Duntov convertible conversions, the only factory approved models that I would accept any level of credibility towards.
However, there’s way too many personal customizations for this car to fall under that category. This is just a custom car with a fake story.
Duntovs turbo was a great idea on paper but failed as badly as new coke,
It was gonna be a limited number, white on red only wide body convertibles, with turbos,
They didnt sell well,
So they offered other colors, over the shelf parts and even today a nice numbered duntov convertible doesnt get as much or more normally as a comparable ecklers wide body,
Weird how that stuff goes.....
On this 1980 convertible conversation, I have a friend who has a 1980 vette convertible who says his was a special order from GM. He bought it second hand and of course has no paperwork to prove it but he thinks his car is worth like $200k. Possible? I don’t have the heart to tell him this could be all BS
Perhaps have him read this old thread from the beginning. GM Did NOT make a convertible C3 after 75. I know someone with a 82 Collectors Edition convertible. It was done with a 74 rear clip. It's very nicely done. But it's not factory.
