Sounds like an interesting idea. But there isn't much in the vette to swap, I mean the vette only has two seats, and I think the dash is to small

I was actually thinking about this myself a while ago. My friends dad has a 98 Vette, so I took a measuring tape to it. The dash was much wider, and the center console would be hell to swap since it doesnt really stop, it just flows into the design of the car. The doors ar not even close to the same design, and getting the A-Pillars to match, I dont think so....

I think the vette seats fit, but I don't think they recline (no need to since there's no place to recline in a vette)
