Just because you "can", doesn't mean you "should".

You've got to be kidding. Looks like a custom build gone horribly wrong! Why not buy a 57 and 59 resto mod instead of putting both on a vette!!!!

I've seen a lot of terrible C5s over the years, so when I saw this thread title, I was thinking "yeah right"... well if this isn't the worst, it's pretty damn close. And the fact that so much time and money was spend to make it so horrible makes the entire thing all that much more awful.

I can certainly repect the amount of time and labor that went into it. With that being said the only question is WHY? Like another poster stated you could have went with other cars and achieved the same result, so wht ruin a perfectly good ZO6? It says it was entered in shows but I think mainly as a curiosity rather than a show peice. Anyhow I will be amazed if someone actually buys it.

I'm gonna go against the grain here. I'd rather have that in my laneway than a stock Z with fake brake caliper covers. If you forget it's a Corvette, it's actually an "interesting/original" car.

Well I don't like the FRC roof so I don't think it's all that bad. To me the FRC looks like they forgot the roof and poped one out quick. I do know I am in the minority here though.

I kind of like it, not as a corvette, but as a unique car.

Every time I see one of these treads I think, how much worse can it get from the last thread I saw and usually its a recycled pic. Well, not this time, that's a new one for me and I am . Then look down the page and pics.

Wow, just wow!

Not only does it look bad but just think about rear end lift due to those fins at speeds over 100.
