[1]As people employed with writing news stories following the ebb and flow of the auto industry, we are often left wondering; just who are these people buying Corvettes and Mustangs in the final model year before a major redesign? Sure, sales of these iconic cars always taper off in anticipation of the new models, but there always seems to be plenty of people ready to buy last-year’s trends at a discounted rate.
[2]But what if you really, really want the look of the all-new Corvette, but for whatever inexplicable reason have an affinity for the outgoing C6 models? Well Supervettes [3] might just have the answer, and its called the SV8.R conversion. This kit will transform your C6 Corvette into a C7… sort of. And it won’t be cheap.
For $60,000, Supervettes will change almost everything about the exterior of your C6 Corvette to make it look just like the all-new C7, with a carbon fiber body that will fit any 2005 to 2013 model Corvette. It also makes the C6 Corvette about five inches wider, because this isn’t a real C7 after all, and you can only convert so much.
So who will this kit appeal to? Perhaps people who have way more than $60,000 invested into their C6 Corvette already, and can’t justify the addition of another garage space to an already-crowded collection. That said, with a brand new Corvette Stingray starting at just $55,000, or $5,000 less than the cost of this kit, it’s kind of hard to make a logical argument any which way about it. You dig?
