I see parts from a C4, C5 and a Fiero, all of it hideous.

X2!!!!

The whole time I was looking at the pics, I KNEW that the engine was in the rear and the builder had done what they could to make the proportions "work". Then I see the engine...a V8, no less!, stuffed in the front! Wow.

I looked at this expecting to ridicule it , but I can’t. It’s remarkably well done. I’ve always thought Corvettes could be a little smaller.

Not my thing, but hats off to the guy that built that. I can't imagine the hours that took.

Definitely a cool build! It's definitely a mix of parts but if it works, kudos to the builder. I did think though, that if the guy that built it wanted a Corvette, buying one that needed some work would have been far cheaper than building a Fiero to resemble a Corvette. But imagine the stories the guy can tell from the build. A lot of hours went into building that car!

Did the windshield say $1500 for the car? If so, that's a no brainer! Definitely would be very fast as it weighs very little and definitely has some power!

Copy. Cool deal. Would love to see more pics of the chassis, under side, etc. What is in the space where the original powertrain went? Fuel? Batt?

Probably was trying to build that mid engine corvette and just couldn't make the V8 fit behind the seats.
