Default A Little Help Please

Someone about a year age posted a web site of a company that will take a C5 and tranform it into a replica 1962 model. I'm sure that I saw it here. I have a friend that has a 00 C5 with extensive body damage and thought he would like to look into this.

Dose anyone remember the site or the name of this company

Thanks

Dave K

Your friend has extensive body damage on a 2000.....why would you want to take a car that is damaged and old and attempt to convert it to a '62? The conversion is about $65K.

I have a buddy that has three of these cars right now, is ordering another and has sold two - so that makes six cars. Through him, I have had extensive exposure to these cars. If you start out with "junk" - the end result is going to be far below expectations.

My opinion - this is not a viable solution.

Default Contact Mid America?

There was a 53 on a C5 at the Fun Fest a few years back, they could probably put you in contact with the people you want if you contact them. Good luck
