Seen this before?
Have you ever seen a 1954 Corvette Nomad Made out of a C5? I didn’t until today. Hopefully this link will work for a while - https://denver.craigslist.org/cto/6488307039.html

I wouldn't pay C5 retail for that. It looks like it was well done in the pictures but I just don't like the looks of it. I would say that it is a bit overpriced.

I actually like it, but not for a buck twenty. I saw a white one similar to this before.

I've seen another one of these at an event somewhere, might have been at the Bash at the NCM. In person it was rather nice. My only thought was you are already starting with a great looking car, why make it into something else?

I think it looks pretty good, but no way I would pay $120K for the car.

It just looks like another "Heavily Modified C5"...but I like it!
Wouldn't pay $120K even if I could afford it!

I've always liked the Tri-5 Nomads, but this is big time overkill (and too many zeros in the price). 
I remember - like everyone else, I'm sure - seeing photos of the original from the 1954 Autorama. My understanding is Chevrolet destroyed the one (or up to five, depending on the story) in about 1955.
Of course, this is a cheap one!
IIRC one sold 2-3 years ago at Barrett Jackson for about $200,000! Guess that makes this one and the one deejbee mentioned affordable!
