Hello all,
Here's a link to what I feel is one of the most well built Mako 2 repli-cars out there, the door skins cut into the rear wheel wells like the GM Mako did and the headlights don't ruin the beauitful lines of the front clip,also note the special side pipes.
I have a hand drawn ad for this body kit, it has no info on it as to when or where this kit came from, is it another Silva take off?
The site says '89 and the paint treatment is very 80's

I have asked in the past and been ignored lets see if anyone that comes by here knows anything about this wonderful custom,
I only know what I have stated here.
Otherwise I hope everyone is doing wonderful....
Cheers, T.

Just so you know someone saw it! I think it looks neat, and don't know a lot about Makos, but it clearly isn't an 80's Corvette(might be obvious to everyone else, but the previous post confused me) I don't think I've ever seen mirrors like that one has on any other Vette? would those also have been custom built when the car was converted?

It's anyones call if the mirrors are hand built or off the self, many cool aftermarket mirrors have come and gone during the years,
I've seen GM show vettes with mirrors on the windshield pillars....
Cheers, T.

Jack Gray sent me a picture of this car, maybe he knows something about it.
I have seen kits with the wheel wells cut into the doors.
Tyla, if you remember, that picture I sent you of that clip in my garage had monster flairs and was cut into the doors.
I remember that clip having roof panels, door skins, and a few other odd things with it, including some interior panels.
As far as I know that particular kit that I am talking about can still be bought from the guy for around 3K.

It appeared in at least 2 different magazines. You need to find somebody that has a copy of those magazines and then get a translation. They might come up on e-bay now & then ???

I have a cousin who lives in Trondheim AND is a real car nut. If you know the names of the magazines I'll e-mail him and ask him to see what he can find out about the car. I'll send him the URL you posted anyway and see if he can back track it any just from that.

Just since I posted this I contacted the owner of the web site that car is on, here is his reply...
>>"Hi Tyla

This is the only pictures I have. The car is located in Trondheim Norway.
It was first built like this in the late seventies/early eighties. Then some years later the garage where it was parked burned, leaving only the Corvette frame intact. So this is the second version of the car, I think it was finished like this about 10 years ago.

Best regards from Norway

Randy I thought I recalled you telling me that you knew something vauge about this variation, you've seen it hands on, do you think it's a Silva "pull off"
If any of you guys have more pics please send them on to me....
Many thanks,
T.

The first time I saw it was in Daves links page. And then my son came home with some nice color prints from the web site and I sent them off to you guys. Has to be the best Ma"c"o I've seen yet. Pure eye candy. Tyla, I thought I sent you A copy?

You did Harry, many thanks.. ..I just have always wanted to learn more about that unique car.
T.

I have really studied the pictures and this is by far the best kit I have seen to date. I bet it is a kit and not a one off.
You know there is that company in Canada that sells a kit, I wonder if it could be that one???
This particular car has a lot of GM looking stuff on it. Check the front louvers where the side marker should be. Also check the side structure. Whoever built it knew enough about the real car to duplicate some of the minor stuff. Outside of the wild paint, it is a great car. Wonder what kind of power it has and what the interior looks like.
