GM has never built right hand drive Corvettes, but in Australia I know there is at least one company that specializes in building RH conversions since it is supposedly illegal to drive LH cars there. A conversion costs at least $25k and looks factory. One of the Vette mags had a feature on one many years ago, a C5 vert. The conversion, including the dash board looked amazing. At Carlisle several years ago there was a '59 or '60 Vette that was built RHD. The car was so pretty that when I went to admire it, it was so perfectly done, that I didn't even realize I was looking at a RHD Vette. It was custom built for export.

Im in New Zealand and it is considered a crime against humanity to convert anything but a pickup to RHD. Luckily our rules are more relaxed compared to Australia. It would be very rare to see a RHD American car of any sort in NZ. We keep them LHD as per the factory. In saying that, new factory produced RHD Mustangs are available here.
