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. 2008 Jetstream Blue Convertible
I'm fairly sure I already know the answer most of you will give to this:
 
 
I would like to see a better shot taken from the rear of the car.  Aside from the auspicious pedigree of being owned by Belushi (wow, doesn't that copy look authentic), I'm interested to know what folks think.  I mean after all, they did upgrade to steering wheel from the '75 model to the Corvette/Vega one!!
 
I have to say that I actually kind of like the look of the rear window, and from the pictures, it at least looks like all of the body work was done well.  I don't think it's for me, but it is different.
 
 



I wanted a Corvette my whole life, but I never dreamed of all the wonderful people I would meet because of it!

Personally, I don't like anything about it ( except for the color ). The C3 lines are perfect already! I mean, I can go for ground effects, spoilers, and hoods but to me it looks like they were trying to turn it into a Buick! Those pointed fenders do NOTHING for me! I like my Vettes like they are. Just my 2 cents worth.

Vette(s): 1979, Targa Blue (72 Color), Pace Car rear spoiler, L88 hood, Dark blue factory interior, 525HP 406, HD 700R4, 370 gears,Steeroids, composite rear spring, TT IIs wrapped in T/A Radials.
Looks like a Corvettillac - notice they don't give a head on or direct shot of the tail? Probably because they are the 2 most modified views and 2 worst features of the car...

Personally, I think it's quite hideous...Dead

Aw...common, guys...we've seen similar cars before. There was one last year(I think) that was tan/copper colored...it wasn't near a nice lookin as this one, tho.
I think there was a series of these turds built.
Belushi's car??? Idano...he did a LOT of coke, but I don't think he did THAT much! Perhaps he did own it at one time, before it was "modified"?

It's a big ol Thumbs Down for me...
