Default 75 Greenwood project


Just picked up this 75 Corvette with the greenwood body.



Plans are a full frame off restoration. Not sure if I want to make it a Road race car or a street car yet. I'm contemplating a c5 suspension with an LS. Anyone got any Idea's?? Now that the 78 widebody project is complete I'm just waiting for my new shop to be finished. Let me know your opinions. Will be posting more pictures soon.

I assume this car had the Greenwood style Body parts added to it at some point and that it does not have the Greenwood Suspension. If its got the suspension that would totally change the build.

Going to remove the Greenwood body on the c3 and transplant all the c4 components. Sand blast the chassis and powder coat. Drop the 6 speed in with an ls. can't wait to start.
