C5 conversion to '53
 
I did a couple searches and I cant come up with a site that shows a C5 with the conversion to a '53 body. I saw one in person this weekend and I wanted a couple pictures to show to someone.

anyone have any info?

I've seen it many times on this Forum as well as others, fact is I've been to the web site for it. Someone will come up with it for you but I can't! :crazy:

I couldnt get the search to work here last week and I hadnt even tried this morning. I went back and tried it and I found everything that I had wanted :thumbs:

I saw one of those this past weekend too. It looked pretty good. I didnt speak with the owner, if I see him around will stop and ask him how and where he got it.

I saw one of those this last weekend at local car show,,I see the guy around town once a week, check back and I will see if I can locate him and get the information for you.

Can't understand why someone would take a perfectly good C5, and add $30K to come up with something like that. jmho, but that thing's an abomination.... If you want a '53, save your pennies and buy one.

I saw one at Carlisle Corvettes and I agree

Try this page:

http://www.vetteweb.com/features/0301VET_Red/

The link www.attcars.com did not work.

I like the white, the red doesn't do it. The three white cars I have seen were very well done customs. Not any different that rodding a '34 chevy coupe....

Ah Ha! typo in the article...

THe one I saw was black and it was sharp from the front... the back I didnt really care for though.

I just wanted some pictures to show to my parents what I had seen. I really need to start carrying my camera with me more.
