    1/2 GT, 1/2 Vette

    Make you're own mind up.....

    eBay: 1/2 Corvette - 1/2 Opel GT Traum oder Wirklichkeit ? (Artikel 4607963159 endet 09.03.07 09:30:00 MEZ)

    I remember seeing it at the Belgium Euro Meet back in '99, 'The Conrero Special Show' and couldn't quite belive my eyes, certainly a great deal of work.

    This is a model? It looks real to me. Whatever, it is a bit unusual.
    We certainly don't knock anybody's car here, while I personally think somebody got a little carried away on this one, I have to commend them for their imagination and handiwork! This was a lot of work, be it a real car or a plastic model.
    So, where's the engine photo? It's a V8?
    If it really is a model, the photography is incredible, too!
    I have to keep going through the photos. I think it's a real car. Why is it in the Scale Model Forum? You're messing with me.

    Jeff, I actually saw this car in Belgium. It's full size and had it's own marquee for the display. It runs and drives, but did come on a trailer......maybe it doesn't go round corners.

    But it has "Indianapolis pace car" written all over it so it must turn left once in a while!!! As was already said someone has too much free time on their hands. All I can say is WOW!!

    The interesting part is that this was a U.S. spec GT. Note the rear side marker lights. Was the final product made here and then shipped over or made there? Interesting car, not my style though.
