I know, at least I figure, some of you are into hotrods. I have never seen one of these before, quite unique!

Seems like a waste of a nice 572
Those side pipes are rare 1969 only too. It's too far custom (butchered) to return to stock without big $$$$. As they say though, "there is an ass for every seat". :dawg:
i dig it. weird. Im not a vette guy, at all, so this sort of thumbs its nose at the purist's, and im good w that.
I love the Sportwagon conversions. LOL. A C3 isn't exactly the most valuable of Vettes. If there's one to customize, that's the one to do it. They handled like shit anyway. They improved the understeer in Vettes a bunch by this point, but it was still a much better straight line car.
Oh yeah that'll piss of a bunch of folks for sure.
It's been a long time since I saw one of those Vette conversions.
Fugly.
All it needs is Mark Hamill behind the wheel and it could be one of the cars from "Corvette Summer"

I agree with angering the purists Corvette folks! I've never been a Corvette guy. For any classic, as long as it's not super rare, have at it. I'm more into old Nissan/Datsuns. If it was a super early 1970 240z, I'd be upset. Also maybe a Grand Prix edition s12 200sx.
agreed. and, lets be honest here, its reversible. all the re-pop body work is available. But no one really cares.

I owned a 1966 Sting Ray Roadster with both tops, 327/ 300 HP, 4 speed, M21 trans, factory side exhaust (loud!), silver with black interior when I was between 22- 35 years old. Very fun car but it was too nice to not be nervous when taking out. The paranoia I had about getting a rock chip or damage convinced me to sell it and get into old Buicks. Swore that I would never own a car that nice again and have not! That's when you don't own the car, the car owns you! :dead: During my time of ownership, my impression was that Corvette owners/ clubs were snobs/ dics and I didn't fit in at all so avoided any of those clubs or shows. :omg: Maybe it was due to being young??? :umm: Hopefully that has changed. :whistle: I later found my home with Buicks (GS455, Grand Nationals, T- Types) and stayed with them from 1995-2016. :righteous: :clap: Got tired and too old of pulling those heavy THM400 transmissions and parts were drying up for the Turbo 6 cars too. Now into modern Mopar muscle. I still avoid car shows and car clubs and do the solo thing. The 2 stroke group is my real home outside of my domicile! :thumbs:
Will probably go overseas. Middle East I'd guess.
