Coupe to vert conversion?
I have too much invested in my car to sell, but thought I might try to convert it into a vert. Has this been done before? How difficult would this be to do? Any info would be appreciated, Thanks Steve

I think it would be easier to buy a silver vert and swap all the stuff over.
My buddy changed this Z06 to a vert by sawing the roof support off and swapping in a complete vert top.

IMO unless your car is heavily customized- whichs yours looks fairly customized but mostly removeable bolt on, it would be better to sell the car and get a vert instead. It would totally kill the resale of the car when the next buyer finds out it was a coupe converted into a vert.

"The complete conversion (including paint) is $10,500.00 for the Coupe or Convertible and $12,500.00 for the Z06 or hardtop. Conversion time is approximately five weeks."
Expensive, but suh-weet!
