If you're gonna go retro why not the C1? Now that would be a nice retro version, really nice lines that a car designer could have a field day with. keytech 2009-02-11 17:13:53

Vette(s): Silver 1974 Convertible - L82 4 speed
Low miles (was only 8,900 when I bought it in March 2006) - Now 54K miles. Original owner bought it as an investment for son's college expenses.

I'm gonna say no. But, if like Biff said, they could put a (real) C3 body on a C5 or C6 chasis, then THAT would really be something!
I wanted a Corvette my whole life, but I never dreamed of all the wonderful people I would meet because of it!

I like it but the front end looks too short for the rest of the car.

I don't dig it....the proportions seem off. I really don't think it will go over...

I actually like the concept. I agree with most of the previous posts, with a few exceptions. I don't think Ford and Chrysler failed with the Mustang and Challenger rebirths. I think they are both very nice designs. Given the choice I would like to see a retro Vette follow the C2 form. I would give consideration to buying this C3 concept if it were available from the assembly line. I don't thinlk I would go for the kit idea.

Interesting question about this one.
1st I do think its cool that out of ALL the previous models they chose OURS to work with.
Thats quite the compliment IMO.
I did like the looks of the top one, but the more cars I saw the less I liked em with the stripes and all.
Would I trade a real C3 for one? No, I like the original thank you.
But would it be a good car for someone who loves the looks of a early C3 but has no interest in figuring out vacuum lines, heater cores and how to make the radio work? You bet.
For those I say go for it!
But please, put a tank sticker on it just for fun!

I liked the looks except for the scoop ahead of the rear wheel. Would I buy a new one? no. I might buy one when it is 5 to 10 yrs old though. New toys are just too expensive. Be sides I still enjoy my 76
