Default variation on a theme

Stumbled across an old car magazine (1982) in my dad's attic.. and found these pics of a couple of "modified" Vettes!

The creator is/was the owner of a large Chevy dealer and had the bodies built from scratch..... i think the convertible is pretty funky :cool:

The first looks like a Corvanti (corvette and avanti) and the second looks like a Corcougador (vette and cougar and matador). Kinda like the second one for some :crazy: reason. :confused:
