Hmmm...a very creative use of the '53 body kit.

I'm not so sure how I feel about that, either...it's a lot to take in!

After looking at it longer, it's the wheels that throw the look of it off for me. I would like to see it w/the Z06 wheels on it so they go w/the brake ducts.

The back angle just looks too cool.

After seeing the silver car pic...the front fenders
look to "bulbous".

Still like it a lot though. [Cool]

I have seen a few of these including a ZO6 convertible. They can be done pretty well actually but even though they are interesting to look at, I could never do that to a C5 myself.

On one of the TV shows on TNN they had a segment on one. It was on quite a while ago.

I don't like it. But then I never liked the early 1st Gen until the 56 Vette came out. I am not a big fan of the 5th gen (looks wise)either so I guess it doesn't matter.....obviously this person likes the looks.

My favorite Vettes are the second gen, the early third gens, and the fourth gen.

I can see what they are doing. Not bad if you like the 53 body style (which I dont care too much for). The side Z06 vents and the hardtop body lines along with the ugly wheels makes it really bad though. JMO

Absolutely unattractive (from all angles), IMO.
It is definitely unique, but the C5/C1 styles clash horribly.

My preference (in order):
C2 - '63-'67
C5 - '97-'04
C4 - '84-'96
C1 - '53-'62
C3 - '68-'82
