A95Y

I saw a split window body on a 96 chassis on Barrett-Jackson. Anyone know where to buy one that's not a 63 GS. I'm looking for information on a Split Window Coupe I saw on the auction. I surfed it up and found an article in CorvetteFever, but couldn't find the fiberglass company that does the work. Any concrete info on this?

Thanks

- (can you provide a link to the CF article?)

the only thing i've ever seen - C2 body on the C4 platform was made by a company in washington state that modifies your donor C4. (i think the owner was a forum member at one time, or still is - ???) prices start at $70K + the donor. the last i heard, this prototype was owned by someone over on the C2 forum -





i would like to see any pics of the barrett-jackson car...

A-1 fiberglass

was it this car????? A-1 fiberglass made it. Was built on a 1996 corvette

I saw the A-1 Fiberglass reference, but I cannot find anything on the
A-1 Fiberglass website pertaining to the Corvette. I will try Classic-Glass and see what I come up with.

I saw a thread on here sometime back and remember the guy posting pictures of the dash which matched pictures of this one. Pretty sure he was the same guy that built it as well.

Okay I was wrong that the person made the car but he did some dash laminates for it. Maybe he has more info on the maker of the car body.

You sure it wasn't a Newman creation? They modify the C2 chassis to accept C4 suspensions. A real C4 chassis wouldn't fit a C2 on it...completely different body pickup points, etc.

And the price list please...

I don't think that Newman is the manufacturer. It's a fiberglass rebody on a C4 chassis. Steve Magnante stated that the car looked very similar to a 63, but there were some subtle differences he could pick out. I think A-1 Fiberglass is the company if I could find some information on their Corvette body program.

See same dash as car in the thread I posted







C4 under the hood

What an awesome car....until they lost the C2 dash, that just doesnt work at all.
Otherwise be a blast to drive Id guess. Looks great.

I like the modernized interior. No mistake it's not a C2.

Everyone has different tastes, that's what makes the world go round.
Found the site after I put the dash in classic-glass, duh

I am curious why it's limited to 92-96 c4.

BTW if anyone has not seen how they do this, the completely hack the car up, it's not just a body that fits one. Pillars are cut off, windshield is cut off, etc.

Serial Chiller

Yes please!

I think Newman builds a frame and drivetrain for your existing C2. Anyone? That black one sure is sweet looking.

A-1 does like the Sawzall! I think they put a roll bar in after they hack it up.

I dare say that black one looks better than the original.
Nice sleek look to it witout being real obvious, very hard to pull off on a shape like that.

Same here

I actually LIKE the interior on the C2's. Add a better suspension, and you have a killer ride!

I can't see cutting the snot out of a '63-'67 body to make a bastardized creation. Buy a frame in good shape, send it in to have the suspension changed out and put it under the car. Keep the original frame and IF you want to get it back to stock it is an easy swap.

Newman converts the stock C2 frame over to C4 suspension.

That is an ORIGINAL body. Any good Corvette body man can do it...just takes a LOT of time (and $$$$). It is a thing of beauty
