Since I've been on this forum I have seen some very skilled and innovative people do some cool work on their C2's. Here I want to make a collection of favorite C2 mods. Just be sure to give the original guy credit.

Hoping this will help others out in their restomod projects.

Before I start posting: Is it ok to copy and post pictures from other forum members?

Personally I like the mods that add more POWER.
I am also a fan of 6 tail lights on the C2. I don't have 6 but I like them.

An overdrive transmission - in my case a Tremec TKO 500.

Alight here are a few of my favorites:

Credit:
65silververt-Electric E brake
65silververt-Rear exhaust below plate
chgc267-Custom classic style valve covers
sonksen design-Custom headlights
GodSpeed Rides-Billet taillight surrounds
Godspeed Rides-AC/Heat bulkhead fitting


Other mods I've seen that I really like;
Electric brake booster
Power vent windows
Then of course there's the SRIII frame and the LS engines

The best modifications are those that can be reversed. Once you modify a C2 the potential resale market shrinks.

I really like the idea of things that can be reversed when the day comes.

Is Your Car Really Original?

A few mods that I've done to my car that I absolutely love,
Detroit Speed headlight motors and wiper motor
Vintage Air
Digital analog dash
C5 door handles
C5 seats
Six tail lights
Steeroids P/S rack
And none of these mods were done with the intention of reversing them. I don't intent to sell it and I built it to be dependable and drive anywhere. When I'm gone the next person can do what ever he wants with it. I didn't build it for him.

Easy answer. A/C, P/S, P/B and a Tremec. Jerry

Many say the borgeson steering conversion is their best money spent. I know one is going in mine before I get done.

That's the best thing I've done to my 65 and it is reversible.

Do radial tires get counted as a modification (from original)?

Tremec 5 speed trans, Steeroids rack and pinion steering, modern stereo, upgraded shocks, composite rear spring, LED tail lights, and Quickfuel carb. All are reversible.

Most popular mod would probably be the addition of the stinger hood to non-stinger cars.

My car has Secret Audio in glove box - very cool. Also, many of the mods mentioned above, all done by a former owner.

I have been lurking here for a while and have enjoyed this thread the most.

Mr D.

Not sure if it qualifies but a 427 upgrade is a kick in the azz and fun to drive.

Keeping the engine compartment somewhat old school, I modified a 327 block .060 and used the old school flat tappet 1970-72 LT-1 solid lifter cam, lifters and intake. The old school '461 iron heads were breathed on by Jeff Kobieski (Modern Cylinder Head), RIP Jeff.

We trip with our '5 and I enjoy the factory side pipes (Sweet Thunder GNM's{Gives No Mercy} 3" OD, 2 1/2" ID; but to keep my wife happy I installed a complete undercar exhaust system (2 1/2" mandrel bent aluminized to shorty Dynamax mufflers). My best of both world systems are connected by Doug's electric gate valve cutouts.

Nothing' money can't fix to reverse all of this
