Hell yes!
Some time ago, I found a '68 convertible selling for $5000 in the collector car trader online. It had an '80 front and rear on it. Looked darn good for the price. I posted a link to the ad here on the forum. The post got pounded with "Who would do such a terrible thing to a chrome bumper car!!!". I didn't really care how it came to be, for the price I thought it was a cool project car for the money.

If I would be looking for a Vette right now I would probably bid on this one!!
I personally don't really care about resale value on my Vettes. Especially not on my 68.. Including what I am going to spend on the new engine and transmission plus installation I have already $38000 in my car....
If I would sell it I couldn't even get $20k for it....
However - my GrandSportC3 will be mine forever...
She's my BIG BOYS TOY....

I personally prefer chrome bumper Vettes. However - the 80 - 82 style bumper looks absolutely :cool: on those Vettes too!!!

The seller is the same loser who sold tworottiedogs his car, and "lost" it. He didn't "find" it until he was threatened with legal action. :rolleyes:

It'd be alot cooler if it were an 80' converted to a big block 68'vert. Those crome bumpers look sweet!

Complaint by tworottiedogs - Do not deal with this person!! Email me and ask why! No delivery of a Corvette.
Response by mboterashv@aol.com - Car was shipped. I am doing anything I can and offered to refund full amount.
Follow-up by tworottiedogs - The refund must be in the car. I haven't seen it either.

Re: e-bay 1968 to 80 conversion..i like it (inferno-vette)
I did that same conversion in the summer of 82. I used a 69 427 435 hp 4spd donor car. The car is white with red 1980 interior. It has both the hard and soft tops. I still have the car. I am not sure how many 80 conversion verts there are out there. But it is not a new thing. I have seen atleast ten since I did mine.

Re: e-bay 1968 to 80 conversion..i like it (Sharky Guam)
I was hot after a `69 coupe once that had the soft nose, but I don`t think it was an `80 nose. The car retained the`69 rear end and the side "gills". A very sharp Vette. I like this Yellow `Vert but if the seller is an A- ho...

The only thing I really like about it is the NO RESERVE bid option :D
