I can get the vert with top, I have all the ZR-1 parts to build it except a few small ones. It would be a complete custom build as in a 94 body with a 90 LT5 power plant and 90 electronics interior.

But is anyone interested in this set up? it wouldn't be a wide body rear becuase I feel the SMC would show the repair where it was widend. But its possible I guess.

what do you guys think this would be worth?
would anyone be interested?

Cool who did the wide body?

I know I could do it but it would take some time to get the widebody done.

Even though I think it's a cool idea, I'm not sure its' going to be a very profitable project.
If it's to be a labor of love, then what the heck.
You might be able to sell it to a fellow ZR1'er, but John Q. Public won't give a tinkers dam that a 'Vert has an exotic, very expensive motor in it.
Not when C4's are selling for chump change these days.

mine was done couple of years ago by a best corvette mechanic in Poland. I bought it already done a year ago.

Yeah thats why I was wondering if anyone on here would be interested in one.

I personally do not like convertible C4s I had one when I was in japan but its really not my thing.

here are couple of pics of my convertible Z, front logo is off because I polished the paint couple of days ago and havent mounted it yet, I wanted to lower the car but now I put the cross frame and that wouldnt be a good idea to do. I have a long "to do" list but now it drives fast and looks nice, now I want to do some small paint repairs, exhaust and interior (new leather).
