Default '72 Split Window Coupe?

It really doesn't look bad from the back.

Makes me want to cry thinking a real SWC was hacked up to do it though.

Seems this would be really easy to do on a 78-82 car for someone who knows fiberglass ...

Glass around the bubble window to produce the split window look, drop the stock bumpers, glass in 68-72 style bumpers, add chrome, done.

Maybe it's just me, but that's all the rear on this one looks like - a 78-82 bubble back that's been "decorated".

I think that it makes the back of the Corvette look a little "overwieght"...

$40k build cost? And $80k asking? Usually restos sell at 50% of build cost. I think the $25k start price is probably about where it should be.

lines in the glass dont match the body lines
the front edge of glass lines with door glass and top ..but
the bottom outer edge of rear glass dosnt go with the body line



It looks good but it could look better

I also think it is overpriced

Horrible. People should get tickets for this crap.

At least it makes the real cars worth even more.

It's not my style, but actually one of the better mods I've seen done. I don't know about the 80,000

i am with ya! those body mod cars like that never sell. i bet it would not bring 10k. one would spend 20k doing some glass work and making it look more like a c3 corvette. then maybe it will bring closer to the 25,000 mark. other than the body it looks like a pretty nice car.

There was another guy on this forum or the C1/C2 forum that combined a C2 and a C3 with much better results.

Hey, you can ask for any amount of money for your car. It's only a question of how much someone will PAY for the car. {and he won't get $80K for that thing...and probably won't get the minimum}
