Default 2005 C3

let's say that the C3 body style never existed and that GM was going to release it as the new C6 model in 2005. Of course it would have all the doo-dads and gadgets that suit the present time, but the if the body was exactly the same, do you think it could be accepted as a modern day vehicle? I think it could.

Would this mean the Mid-Years would have been in production since 1963? WOW!

If, however, the C3 was to follow the C4 + 5, I'm not so sure it would work...

I don't think the sharp lines would fit in. You would have to round everything off.

Then it would look like a viper. :auto:

No it would never have the same appeal today as it had back in 68!

When I finished installing the power plant conversion(LT1/4L60e) in my C3, a local Chevrolet dealership displayed pictures of my vette in their part room. Many of the people that veiwed the pictures asked them if Chevrolet was coming out with a retro-C3. :D
I think it would go over great. :yesnod:
