you're looking at a blast from the past
OK, are we talkin' about the C4-C5 conversion or the C5-C1 conversion?

Fast forward 10 years from now and we will be seeing similar C5/C6 hybrids for sale on e-bay and the C8 owners will be laughing at them!

$14500 for that????? That seller has his head in the sand if he thinks it will bring that kind of price.

When the C-5 first came out these kits were semi popular. I'm sure there's still few around.
Back 'in the day', many people modified 63 split window coupes by removing the 'split' to make their cars look like the updated 64 model.
It's just the nature of people to have the latest look.
This doesn't make it right, but it happens, and a few survive.
