Man, you just gotta love some of the "O please GM" messages that are showing up here. I mean, split windows? Seriously?
I gotta cheap solution...just get the Blade Silver C7 (or C6 for that matter) and stick a strip of classic silver duct tape down the center of the back window. Easy peasy!
no way, with safety regulations how they are these days..
I disagree. Audi is using rear cameras and a video screen to replace the rearview mirror on one of their cars. No reason they couldn't do this with a split window Vette.
Location: Palm Harbor not far from Sebring Florida
If the split window as a big hit and was not a vision issue it would have lasted more then a year.Zora hated it from when it was first conceived.
With the shape of the rear window on the C7, it would work at all.
I certainly hope they would not make that mistake again, there is a reason it was only on one years car. I owned a brand new 63 split window that I bought on a whim and the visibility was horrible. Hated the car and traded it 6 months later for a 64 convert.
OK, here is the plan. GM should just (for one year) rebuild the entire 1963 splitwindow model with a new LT1 engine, aluminum frame and the same, exact body from '63 WITH the splitwindow but with a camera. Sell them for $120k MINIMUM to satisfy the 20-50 guys who would buy them, see how many sell and move forward from there.

Now, how's he gonna wax that center section...that's the question...that's a tough reach
The wrap around back window looked cool in the 60's, but I didn't even like it on the 80's, 90's, 00's, 10's. It's getting tired. Time to move on, which, fortunately, they did on the C7.
