DreamCorvette62

This C5 has a 1962 single piece carbon fiber body. Simply amazing....Anyone else ever seen anything like this? I don't know if I should call it a C5 or....???
It's a work of art I've never seen before.....Great production in the video too:

JR-01

I have seen others like it. Definitely cool as hell.

Vetteman Jack

One of the best looking kit cars/conversions have seen. Have seen some others but none that look that good.

JR-01

One of those sold at Barrett Jackson a couple years ago for $100K. Not sure how much it costs to convert one.

If you do say so yourself as the video creator and/or car owner?

i LIKE these a LOT!!!! however , 62's body was one color and 61's were two color . . . peace

Yes, I have. There is a company in Lakewood WA (Classic Reflections Coachworks) that makes a '62 convertible using a C5 convertible as a donor car. I don't recall if they use carbon fiber for the body, but the fiberglass bodies I have seen both in the construction process and owner's cars are absolutely fantastic. CRC also makes a '58-'60 conversion and a '61-'62, either of which can be built on a C5 or C6 car, and a '67 that is made from a C6 only.

The car in the video looks just like the CRC version. Where was this car made and who made it??

I have seen pros at Barrett Jackson that do this conversion, with C5 and C6 too become C1 or C2. They also take Camaros and do a Trans Am conversion.

Fantastic, and a great video as well.
When I win the lottery this week, I will have to have one made just for me.
Love the color.

Don’t you think Chevrolet could sale thousands if they went back and made retro models like this and others like C1 and C3 with the modern engineering they have now. I know I would be more than interested.

JR-01

It worked great for Mustangs, Camaros and Challengers.

WKM

And none of those cars looked half as pretty as the first and second generations of Corvette to start with

JR-01

Instead they spent 10s of millions to develop the Solstace. If GM would have put those resources into a retro Vette at the Solstace price, it would have become an instant collectible.

Friend of my wife's did one of those a few years ago.

CRC = (Classic Reflections Coachworks) in Lakewood., WA They are typically not carbon fiber but what they call composite materials. Not 100% fiberglass either. I suspect similar to a base C5 in materials. Conversion starts around $85-89k and goes up from there...you supply the vehicle. check them out here: https://www.crcoachworks.com/

No I do not work for them...just know of them.

WKM

Wow they may be pretty but that’s a steep price plus you supply the car. You could almost buy a new ZR1 at that rate.

Just another mod, invest $125k, asking $99k or best offer, sold at auction by dreamers

I would rather have 1 stock C5z to DD, and 1 built track ready c5z, and spend the rest on track time.

Ya right...same thing they said about the Chevy SSR when first shown at a concept vehicle show. Build it they will sell...Well you know the story I am sure and GM is not in the business to repeat mistakes. I have an SSR and love it but really?

WKM

I would have loved to have one if they had made the truck bed useful
