What do they call the C5 that has the C1 body attached to it? Does anyone have any pictures that they can post?

Thanks

 

They are called "retro Vettes". C1 body over C5 chassis and engine.
Check out www.crcoachworks.com for a look at one of the nicest
C1 bodies with C5 components you'll ever see. While not a True Retro, as the body is a hand built replica, I saw this car at the SEMA Show last November, and it is GORGEOUS!!

 

Retro Vettes...BRILLIANT!

Thanks!

 

Here's another (C2)

Anybody have any idea on how much that costs?

 

i'm wondering if you were to enter it in a car show, what catagory it would go under?


but is is (in every meaning of the phrase) Freaking awesome.

....now don't you feel better with all that LS1 power

 

I heard its pretty expensive but the material they use is supposed to make the car lighter.

 

~$40k, plus donor Vette

 

Now Coachworks requires the buyer to purchase the donor car from them. So the price would be whatever the donor car costs and approximately 70K more for the base custom body. A close friend has had several of these. They are absolutely incredible.

 

That is not too bad. Much better than the other retro kits I have seen.

Haven't seen a C1 body on a C5 yet. How 'bout this one...

 

I think it looks great

 

Still haven mixed feelings about them
They would make much better drivers(Than C1&C2s)

 

This car is growing on me:
