Magna Steyr Corvette... never really liked it much, but it stands out in traffic.

There is always a white one rolling around at the Woodward Dream Cruise every year.


EDIT - Probably the same white one in the pictures on their page, seeing as how they are located in Rochester Hills.

I guess the guy used to work for GM and started building them to celebrate the 50th anniversary vette.

I think it looks better than what Chevy came up with for their 50th anniversary vette.........

DUDE. A buddy of mine made me search for that vid on the web. I couldn't find it for free, but I saw so much other disgusting awfulness that I never ever want to see 2g1c.


Anyway, as far as the topic is concerned, I've never been a fan of quasi-retro conversions on modern cars. Therefore, IWNHI.

That being said, I'd hit an original '53 with a C4 suspension conversion all day long.

HA! I saw that exact white one last Thursday in a downtown lot at a Twins game...
I wanted to take a picture of it and add it to the "WTF cars" thread.
It was hideous.

Look up "Eel Soup" when you get a chance...

BTW, the car looks like shit, especially for how much it probably costs...

I saw one of these up close. Don't think it was a "53", but it was close.

The proportions were all wrong. It looked pregnant.

I'll pass...

Awkward.... doesn't look right. I don't like the C1 Vette to begin with, so no.
