Title: Any Vette Lovers? Post by: Porky on October 07, 2007, 10:30:38 am It's as nice as it looks but there are other Vette conversions out that look better imo, the 67 conversions are my favorite.
These were taken out by the Cherokee Casino this morning as they were lining up for a Vette run.

I would love to see them do one of the 58-60 vettes in that manner. I had a '73. No one will ever retro that one! Title: Any Vette Lovers?

They also make a 1956 Chevy Belair conversion body for the Vette as well. It's a little bit too extreme for me but I do think it is pretty neat to see. Title: Any Vette Lovers?

Title: Any Vette Lovers? Post by: Hawkins on October 10, 2007, 09:35:59 am I was always an F-body (Camaro/Firebird) person myself.
From 1987-2002, they offered the same 350 V-8 motor option with a back seat to boot! Worst mistake in history by GM was cancelling those cars! They had a product with a rich history and nationwide owner's clubs, and they killed it! As for those retro-fitted Vettes... not very attractive, IMO. -- Title: Any Vette Lovers?

Not a lot, but enough to make the Vette the better performer. The only thing I didn't like about the last generation F-body was the driving position wasn't the most comfortable and visibility wasn't the greatest. But the performance was outstanding, even with the 3.8L V6 engine (the 3.4 was weak). |
