Default *** Best looking C3 custom interior, ever! ***



I absolutely love this car, It looks fantastic inside out. The car I'm talking about is now for sale on.... Ebay! I saw pics of this car some time ago and I can't enough of the interior on this car. Like every custom job, it will draw opinions, but I'm pretty sure most of the guys and gals do like the interior on this particular custom.

If someone finds out the reserve, let me know!

Oh, here's the link:

I don't like it, the weels have to go, steering wheel too, interior looks too british for my taste. The body kit I like but the wing and the headlights are yuck again. Mixed feelings over this one.

Not too many British cars out there with Autometer gauges and billet steering wheels...

It's interesting to see, tho I don't necessarily like the gauges spread all the way across.

Lets see more custom interiors please.....

PS, I'm considering various options now as my door panels are rough but clean and the center console is rough around the corners and the seats are doomed. I'm thinking carbon fiber, black leather and billet aluminum. It would probably be cheaper than replacing it with stock pieces.

Love the interior, with exception of the gauge locations. Don't care for the exterior custom work though.
:cool:

I just saw this car last Saturday... It was at the Touch of Glass Car Show in COCONUT CREEK... The interior looks awsome indeed!!!

:cheers:

BTW - The car was listed by a fellow forum member (it's not his car but he does Internet Marketing for classic cars)

I think it looks awesome although I think it would be kind of wierd looking over to the right to see the speedo and the gauges on the far right. As awesome as it looks I doubt the gauge layout is very pratical.

Regardless of whether or not you like the mods, the worksmanship looks very nice! There are alot of neat, creative touches on that car.

Not the gauges or the steering wheel but the overall layout of the interior w/ the gauges in the center. That's what gives me a British feel.

Granted, it looks like brilliant workmanship but I just don't like it.

I like everything except the guage placement. The motor sounds killer! I think the roll bar looks very subtle :cool: By far the coolest mod he did was removing the center bar and making a targa top. I wonder how he ensured the integrity of the windshield?

Nonetheless, some unbelieveable work there! :thumbs:

:thumbs: I'd have to agree that it looks fantastic, though the gauge layout must be very impractical in real life :D I wonder how much $$$ he has invested in the interior, it seems redone from the group up.

However, the most interesting tidbit to me was the statement:
"This Corvette has a Greenwood Body Package and is ONE FOOT wider than original"

I must confess I'd never heard of Greenwood before, but found their site at http://www.greenwoodvette.com/. Alas, doesn't look like they (any longer?) make any parts for C3s, only C4 and C5 kits listed at their site.

Do you guys think he widened the frame/wheelbase as well, or just the chassis? How difficult might such an operation be (apart from repurchasing each and every fiberglass part), in your opinion?

It looks like the love child of a C3 and a Viper.
