Default C3 not 63' Split Window Coupe

Except for the huge cowl induction hood and the garish front end stripes, this 72' actually doesn't look bad as a 'Split Window' coupe!

Someone did a nice job of grafting a '63 top onto that '72. And, it has more room in the storage compartment!

The split window looks rather well done. Although the backup cam makes me wonder about how well it works.
Although the fake stainless braided hoses would kill any thought of an award from me.

They did a great job with the split window for sure.
Way too much money though.

If it were me, I'd lose the tape stripes and change to a stinger hood.

They did a nice job grafting the split window in. But I don't know... seeing the rear window like that, it just bugs me.

A bit pricey but I love it. Even the graphics look badazz.

Then again maybe a side profile view is also needed. It may be like that chopped '73 that was just posted where it only looks good from certain angles.

I agree with most of the comments here- it is tastefully done, but it is too much money. For $45,000, you can buy the real thing.

Default 72 split window

It dosnt look bad but a macho shark front end would make this thing talk. Also look very hard at the rear picture. Now I see where the glass or back window hatch came from. It is almost evident in this picture that the designer got his idea from something similar...

I'm thinking the best of both eras. Still looks strange though and kind of on the fence. Be nice to see an interior shot of the rear area.

There is one of those lurking around this area, I haven't seen it in a couple of years but it was a driving car at the time. I might have to drive up to where I saw it parked under a car port.
