I'd rather have that than the body style of a 5th gen even if it was all 5th gen under the skin.

There's a local company in town that does custom conversions. They have a C5 corvette that looks just like an early 60's vette. It's only when you start looking at it closer that you can see it's longer and wider than the early vettes but the body style is exactly like the older version.

With aftermarket sources available now, you can change a body style to just about anything. All you need is enough money to do it.

Definitely a sweet-looking custom.

But what's your plan for the car? A new 5th gen would justifiably be
a daily driver. Could this one fill that bill for you?
At 49 large, I'd want to see a bucket load of receipts, and trust the work
being done by reputable shop(s).
