Is it just me or doesn't a C5 seem like a TERRIBLE base for a limo? I mean, I do not mind sitting on the pavement when I am driving a sportscar, but you need room to get your groove on in a limo.

That's a good point. Hard to tell from the pic, but it looks like it's been raised in the back. Which would be a good idea considering that loooooong wheelbase.

Can you get it as a convertible?

For all of you new folks - this one has been here a few times before! In fact back when I was a newbie - I think this might have been my first post. I got BLASTED!!!!!! That was almost three years ago for posting a dupe! Boy was I embarrassed! :o

I'm sure someone will post this.....

Or maybe this.....

Picture this: driving this thing into the Home Depot loading zone, popping the hatch, and feeding fifty or so 16-foot 2x4s into it...

Priceless.

The mechanic in me wants to know how they did the driveline. Maybe converted to an open type with a center carrier?
