Default Can you beleive it's C5?

It might not so right place to put C5 in C4 section, but I am c4 owner.
Was checking Corvette for sale in my Country, its Kazakhstan and take a look what I found http://kolesa.kz/a/show/5690484.html I am giving a link because dont know how to load pics. Someone please load
these pictures. It would be interesting to modify C4 like this.

Sure is different - someone went to a lot of work and expense to fabricate those body panels.

Look at the sidewalls on the front tires.

They look to be about 2 or 3 sizes too narrow for the wheel width.

I'll bet someone had fun getting those to seal.

Definitely looks like a lot of work although not very appealing. Paint looks shiny though.
