It says it's a 2004, and it has wagon wheels. I knew that they would come back into fashion someday!

There is a customizer that goes by the name "The Fishman". He redid a C5 into something 10 times worse than the one we are looking at here. Somebody probably has a pic or a link to it.

At least he is getting some bids on it. More than you can say for many C5s. I really am surprised by the bids he has gotten so far. I also think it is quite ugly.

I've seen 1 that was worse, and it was a C5 that was trying to look like something from the 50's.

Well it's definitely unique. Not my style, BUT there are some things i like about it. Overall, though The backend looks like a Tiburon knockoff.

I think i like the split window look, and some of the frontend work, although not the nose or wheel well shape. A bit overdone, subtle = good, gaudy = bad.

You can see they're trying to do a new age look out of several old school body styles.
