11 Mind Blowing Corvette Stretch Limousines
1. Spanish Six-wheeled C3 Stingray
The idea for this three axle, six seat, C3 Corvette came to the original owner in a dream, and he quickly made a scale sketch and commissioned it to be built. In April of 2012 (no fooling), it popped up on the internet for sale in Spain, at an asking price north of $70,000 or best offer. It is hard to imagine the best offer was anywhere near that. This picture was shot in Barcelona a year later, but no company in Spain renting it comes up in Google, so who knows what became of it.

2. Corvette Funfest C4
This C4 Corvette limo made the cover of the 2010 Corvette Funfest program, and it's still covered in the paint job applied for that event at Mid America Motorworks in Illinois. It sold at the Mecum auction in Indianapolis in 2015, but no price is listed, though estimates were $20-30,000. If you want a Corvette that seats six, this one seems like a bargain.

3. Gullwing C6 Vette
Not much information comes up on this one. Several companies in several different cities are trying to rent you this limo, all using the same pictures, seemingly taken in a lower middle class neighborhood in L.A. Here's a tip: If you are trying to show off your limo, take some pictures at the airport, or at Staples Center, or outside of a fancy hotel, or even on any random street corner in Beverly Hills. The addition of two huge gull wing doors is a nice touch.

4. Xtreme Limos C5 Vette
This car was spotted at the Detroit Autorama in 2000, and belonged to Xtreme Limos at the time. It was stretched over 18 feet and now seats 14 people. From the looks of it, it features gullwing doors as well, which may indicate it was built by the same company that made the previous limo.

5. 1969 Corvette Stingray
The early C3 Stingrays sure are sexy, except this one that is. You have to hope this limo was built from two wrecked cars in 1975, one having been rear ended and one hit in the front. It just hurts to think that some customizer would have cut up two early, small bumper cars recently and made this awkward abomination. It doesn't look bad from far away, but get close and the horrible way they solved the second set of doors and windows becomes apparent. As bad as this one is though, it is certainly not the worst C3 limo you will find on the internet – just the worst use of two pre-smog cars.

6. Most Awkward C3
No, the award for most awkward C3 stretch limo must go to this one. It is hard to tell exactly what is going on at that rear section. It seems as if the body may have been widened at the rear set of doors, yet the roof is still the same size to mate to the stock rear window. This Corvette looks like it has had a bad boob job or something, and they are made of mostly plastic to begin with. If you need to see more of it, check out this video on YouTube.

7. C4 Corvette Convertible Stretch
This one is not quite a limo, but it is a stretched four seater Corvette, with the added bonus of being a convertible. The man who made this has done others as well via his company Family Vettes, which makes Corvettes the whole family can cruise in. With C4 'Vette prices being fairly low, and solid examples still plentiful, I have no problems with this at all. The single extended door opening solves a lot of the awkwardness of some of the other cars, like the next example.

8. Family Vette 1
The first car modified by Family Vettes did not turn out as cool as the convertible, with an awkward transition between the front and rear doors. The window at least is better shaped than on the C3 examples, but the "basket handle" seems to have been poorly thought out and does not quite fit. If his second effort is any indication, the third family 'Vette ought to be the charm.

9. Top Gear USA Corvette
The guys from Top Gear USA famously created their own limousines in one episode, and one of them was a C4 Corvette. Amazingly enough, their quick TV hack job actually didn't look too bad, though it may not have been all that durable. You can watch the episode on YouTube in its entirety here.

10. IMSA GT Vette
Sure, why not, you already made that late C3 Corvette look ridiculous by adding a second set of doors and a weird shaped window. Go ahead and tack on an IMSA GT body kit to complete the look. Why you would do all that custom work, but not make the ground effects into an effective running board as well, is beyond me.

11. Mystery Men Casanova Frankenstein Corvette
The life of a picture car is hard. Real estate around L.A. is at a premium, and the cars are often contracted out to specialty rental places to create and store. After the movie wraps, it may be a year before you know if it is going to become a hit, or if the vehicle is going to become iconic. The Corvette limo created for the villain in Mystery Men is one of the better C3 based limousines you will find, with the sloping window lines fixing some of the weirdness inherent in the design. It sold on eBay, in tired condition, in 2007 for less than $25,000.
