That front end is a dead C4 give-a-way. I'll bet that car ain't worth very much at this point. Could you imagine trying to sell it? Who the hell would want to buy it?

I think you fed your phone some of that beer.



I thought I was the one that was drunk when I saw it. Than I looked again and said to myself "That ain't right". I can't even think of doing that.

One obvious place to tell that it is a conversion (besides the interior, of course) is in the distance between the back edge of the door and the front edge of the rear wheel well. On a true C5 there are a few more inches of space between the two.

Does sort of give you a double take though, doesn't it.

the good part is that it's a vette ; the bad part is that it seems the owner has more dollars than sense! bub

He will probably be selling it to start on his C5 to C6 conversion car!
