Custom Bodied 2003

I just found this and as usual I am probably way behind but have you all seen this? Custom bodies and as of last October only about 14 had been made. I just heard there is one at the Corvete Museum. Very cool looking to me.

The rear quarter looks like a first generation Tiburon.

Looks like they are trying to look like a newer version of the 63 split window coupe.

I believe that is correct. I've seen a silver one in person. I think that is what the rear looked liked, although most of what I saw was the front.

You're now alone.
Paint it red and call it the "Lightin' McQueen" Special.

nope but nice try lol alex

This is a custom 2003 Corvette - that has a new Custom designed and Built Body by Jerry Skidmore. There has been 14 produced. Check out the website for more information. www.jerryskidmore.com

Guy is a truck painter in the sticks but he created this and the Corvettee Museum must like it.
