Hutch out in Florida has a real sweet looking GS version, vert Z06. A looker and show-winner to boot!

All the paint and body work was done by Burke Corvettes in Orlando. They did an awesome job on the car.

Re: Zo6 Convertable (Swimmer)
Yowsa, Scott! I just caught your slide show for the first time.
If I had known the car was going to attract THAT kind of attention, I never would have sold it to ya! Very, very nice.
And oh yeh, the car looks pretty good, too. :D

Re: Zo6 Convertable (Swimmer)
Thanks Hutch. It still can't compare to the 2002 Z06 Grand Sport Convertible that Chevy made though. :jester
Now I'll have to deal with even MORE stupid questions. :rolleyes: <groan>

Re: Zo6 Convertable (backtrail69)
That's what I wanted, but since Chevy doesn't make it I'll stick with the vert. It was the toughest decision I had to make regarding the vette.

Re: Zo6 Convertable (C5 StockSwap)
Since the C5 was configured/ designed as a vert, its not that hard to convert the Z06 to a vert. A body shop here in Albq. has done two perfectly with all GM parts. Total cost before labor is around 6k.
My question would be why change the beautiful lines of a Z06, if you want a fast vert mod it, I did and it walks away from Z's but it's still not a Z. JMHO

Re: Zo6 Convertable (evil-1)
There is alot of work to transform a Z06 to a vert but you don't have to disect the car. if you been there Hutch you know what I'm talking about. :yesnod:
I was simply surprised at how many little things had to be changed given there were no real structural components to worry about.
