When he saw the CR Coachworks car at SEMA - it stopped him dead in his tracks. It looks awesome and the build quality is better than new - and all done by former Boeing engineers. Also the design was done on Boeings CAD computers....
The one on ebay is pretty ugly but I like this one.

Crusher wanted to know how much.
I'm one of the engineers involved in the develpment of this Mod

The cost is 45,000 and you provide the C5 it has to be a vert so anything from 98-04 will work. A C5 with body damage would be the best. it's a 1st class mod all body panels are made from pre-preg fiberglass laminate hand layed up under vacuum and oven cured. The mod comes complete with your choice of paint and top color

I'm not so sure...the strakes along the sides reek of first generation Tiburon...so maybe it was a collaborative effort.

Someone should throw a blanket over it and shoot it.

A few weeks ago I was working in that guys neighborhood and seen that car in his garage. I knocked on his door and asked him if he would show me his Vette. Up close the car looks way better in person than the pics taken. The guy was pretty cool too, he gave me a ton of info about his car. He hardly ever drives it because he is afraid to get into a accident with it. He said the company that did the conversion went out of business so parts for the car would be very hard to find. I am suprised he is trying to get rid of it though. He seemed very proud of his car.

After seeing that POS, I now know why they are no longer in business.

And it looks awkward in person.
