Not awful, but it looks a bit slab sided and more like a Dave Deal caricature of the real thing. I do like it better than the C1 conversions, but I guess I'd rather have an original of either one. Wonder if they will hold any kind of resale value? Maybe in person it looks better.

I think it's beautiful, but if I had to choose how to spend that kind of dough................new Z06, performance FIRST!

I like my C5 as is; however, if I had to choose, I prefer the CRC 1962/C5 for it's workmanship, design, proportions -- I've seen several and they're really sweet.

The '67 version pictured is "different," but doesn't appear to be in same proportions as the original. It's thhose faithful proportions that makes the CRC product superior. This '67 version just might look better as a coupe -- and might attract some customizers since the CRC '62 conversions are all convertibles.

But there is something about this car that just doesn't look right to me. Maybe it's the location of the front bumper. Sorry - I'd have to take a pass. It's a shame, my two favorite generations of Corvettes is the C and the C.



The 67 butt looks fine but the front end and side looks all out of proportion to me
