You guys might have seen it before but I have a picture of of a 80-82 chop top convertible. It is red with C5 wheels. It looks pretty cool.

Yeah, that one is really cool ;) I have that pic too :D
The windshield on that ones is not chopped but angled backward some more, more like the C4.

Did anyone else notice the trademark Baldwin-Motion Phase III GT headlights? Oh, and those look like Camaro taillights. :cheers:

Re: Ever see a chopped vette? (ZD75blue)
It acutally appears chopped very little, and that the raised rear deck contributes most to its appearance. JMHO.

Looks like two entirely different cars in ads photos. Gold/Copper car does not appear chopped ... Red/Flamed car is definately chopped. Which one is for sale? Buyer beware!

Exactly, two different cars....my guess, it's the chopped top with the stripped paint, unless they both go for the price of one.

Man, I love the customs, guess thats why I have two.
Also note the Phase III side scoops behind the side glasses.
Honestly, I believe that those could be firebird tail lamps, thats what are in my cars. Anyway, like it or not, you have to give them credit, as there was a lot of thought and TIME put into that ride.
:cool: :D

When the builder of this car told people about his plans they probably never imagined how well it actually worked out.
I don't really like those particular C5 wheels but somehow they look great on this car. And who would have thought that a wine colored top would look so good with the red paint.
There's nothing that I don't like about this car.
