there have been a lot of replica cars built on a corvette frame. there is one where i work, not this model, but the whole inside of the car is a corvette. two things i don't understand .1. why would anyone want only a half a corvette when they can have the whole thing. 2, dont understand how nj motor vehicles lets them register as historic.

Yep, seen pics of them before but never seen one live, and I'm glad. If you get real quiet you can hear Zora turning over in his grave.

I thought the funniest picture was the one of the interior where they have the STEERING WHEEL LOCKER BAR on the passenger seat Rolling%20On%20The%20Floor%20Laughing

Now that's a pimp-daddy ride!

I don't see how it sold for over $60,000 when new, and I don't know why anyone would want it now. It really looks dated, unlike the '79 vette it used to be.

There have been other posts here with that car. Not that EXACT car, but a "Caballista"...a two-tone sh#t brown one, if I amember correctly.
There are always some people whose "visions" are a wee bit "out there"....WAAAAAY out there...

I can see why its a rare car. I wonder how many they sold, they made 50 of them. Those front and rear bumpers and grille have to weight a ton. Wacko Dead Confused

There was one here in a local car museum for years. When the owner passed away the entire lot was auctioned off by Kruse International. It was the ugliest thing I ever saw.

I saw one locally a few years ago that looked like a Rolls with a continental kit on the rear end.

It was also it poor condition.

Not my taste, but it was unique.
