I saw one of those at a car show i was in. They said it cost some serious money to make it look like that. It looks cool, but why not get the real deal!!

I think they are pretty cool. Very well done, there is one in our club. It used to cost $40,000 to convert.

You can also get it in a C2 body style. You supply the C5 complete car and they convert it to a C1 or C2 they get to keep the C5 body panels. I am not sure of the price.

It's ok. Rather buy the real thing if I had that type of scratch.

Doesn't do anything for me...but I'm not really into the older style cars of any make.
