Check Out This Car I just Saw!

Not bad for an "Off Brand"

The owners were on there way back home after a three week drive out Route 66. Nice people too.

P.S. The guy I met designed it, and then sold the rights to AAT, after GM declined.

Did I read this right:

The vehicle is based on a customer provided Chevrolet Corvette C5 convertible but could also be converted using a Corvette Hardtop (not hatchback). All new body panels are installed using the same attachment locations as production panels. A small recess cut into the rear trunk inner fiberglass to clearance the new deck lid contours is the only modification to production vehicle. There are no structural modifications. All safety related items remain intact.

You supply the car and then another $29,995 made in payments on top of that to take order, start work and complete??
Sounds like a expensive toy after its converted. It has some nice looks to it though I think.

I like the front end, but the tail lights could be a little more subtle.

It looks as though someone is trying to capture some of the success that FORD had with the new THUNDERBIRD.

Guess you have to know what a 53 Corvette looked like to appreciate this conversion

They had it at the Woodward Dream Cruise last year trying to get the General to bite on it for the Corvette 50th Anneversery. No joy. It's very nice in person.

Bob,
No flame.I know what a vette looks like.I have owned two.
You asked our opinion and we gave it.Not everybody has the same taste.I for one do not like it when they try to do the conversion packages.
But the real vette looks sweet.
