I like this C5 ...
I saw this custom in a Corvette magazine and thought it really looked cool. The best of both generations.

To each his own. I have seen it in person, and I am not a fan of it at all. Thats what happens when you have too much money.

They should make one to convert it to a C2. I think that one might look interesting.

It's the best of the "retro" C5's I have seen. Not my tastes but very well done regardless and I too have seen it in person.
