I have NEVER seen one of these before didn't even know they existed ! Found at Day 1 of Americarna, owner "John" tells me he bought the C5 new in the States, and with just 10km's on the clock took it to a place where they do this professional retro conversion ! 
Unbelievable, but a stunner !!

A guy down the street from me has one of these. If I remember right he sent it to Jackson, MI and had it done for 40k. It is a head turner but I'm really not that crazy about it. Now if you we're to take a C5 and turn it into a C3 you might have something.

Vette(s): 1969 convertible L71 427/435 4-speed black interior
I saw two similar cars at Corvettes at Carlisle in '06. They were pretty sharp looking. One was a convertible and one was done in the original "Corvair" fastback style from the GM Motorama shows.

Let's just say that I think some people have too much money

I remember the first one I saw, it was a head turner. I have seen several since.
I think a C3 on a C5 or C6 chasis would be the car to have .
Maybe one day Chevrolet will do a retro Vette

It needs a retro-interior also. I really don't like the interior. 
Front end is looks great. Some people have way too much disposable income.

My .02, but for what he has in this conversion (maybe less), he could have purchased a genuine '53.

I've seen a '62 conversion, as well as this one.
I agree that a '68 or '69 conversion would be pretty cool!

I have seen several and I like them! If I ever get the chance I will own one. For me the VetteRod is the best of both worlds.
As far as the money goes, I believe it's yours buy what you want while you can. 100 years from now nobody will ever know.....

First one I saw was at Corvettes at Carlisle in Aug. 2005. It was a 50th anniversary special.
Best of both worlds; '53 style with modern engine, drivetrain, suspension, brakes, comfort, etc.
But way too much money for me.
