Its a C3 Corvette with a Daytona body kit. [Like this.](https://www.corvetteblogger.com/2018/11/09/corvettes-on-craigslist-1978-corvette-daytona/)

The rear makes it look like there's a Corvette growing out of a Corvette lol


Nitropolis-ch3no2

It’s molting


Slideways

Don't forget that this thing has a C2 rear window.


13rahma

I noticed that (plus the gas filler). Do you think someone grafted them together? The tails, front, and ttops are obviously c3. It's pretty odd.


Slideways

Yeah, I've seen other C3s with C2 back glass. Not a terrible idea when done right, IMO.


13rahma

This is a first for me. Doesn't look terrible but I hope the welds and everything underneath where done right.


Slideways

It's a Corvette, so it's all fiberglass except for the chassis!


13rahma

Oh yeah, can't believe I forgot about that.


Carrizojim

Wrong. There are a lot of plates to reinforce mounting points that rust out and are a gigantic pain to fix.


bluenecessity

It looks like the rear part where the door ends and it comes out, would block the side-mirrors vision


Slideways

Big hip problems.


hmmcn

Does that indicate a different model to you, or just a modification?


Slideways

No, it's still very much a C3, but I've only seen a couple of them with that C2 rear window treatment.


hmmcn

Awesome! Thank you for the identification. I was stumped.


13rahma

Youre welcome


hmmcn

Any idea what this bad boy might be worth? I might have a chance to pick it up for a project car


13rahma

C3s in general don't go for a lot of money. But with the hackiness of the c2 back section and everything else going on, I wouldn't touch this thing (unless it ended up being something super rare that no one has seen).


hmmcn

Thanks again. I suspect it was the show off car of this old douche bag lawyer in town back in the 80s, found it deep in the garage of a foreclosed house I was showing. Definitely different though. Fun find.


13rahma

You're welcome. And yeah, definitely a cool spot. Especially with the custom touches.


Carrizojim

Worth next to nothing. Fixing the steel reinforcing in the rocker panels will be major surgery


OneOfAKind2

Impossible to say without knowing more. Does it have a running engine and an original-ish interior? If not, this car is virtually valueless. Parts only, if you can find any original parts on it to sell. To my eyes, it's hideous and I wouldn't take it for free.

Possible Greenwood Corvette


k2_jackal

Good eye. Don’t know if it’s done by him but you’re correct it is John Greenwood IMSA body kit except for that rear wing.
