I like it as well.  Just wondering why the conversion on a chrome bumper car.  Why not a 74, 75, 76 or 77?

I like the look. We have a member with a 76 split window C3 that looks good too.

As far as this conversion being done on a bumper car..... well we don't know what condition the original car was in do we?

Either way the end result came out nice.Tuxblacray2009-01-08 15:59:04

Wraith has a Mid-Year/Shark, but it's not a "Split Winder"...it still looks neat as h ell!!

I like the looks of the yaller '73...maybe Mitchell should have done that to start with..
It does need a "Stinger" hood, instead of the monstrosity it has on it now...

That is an interesting blend of shapes.  Also agree that a Stinger hood would look so much better.

OK I have to ask.

It says a 73 but as we all know the 73 didnt have a chrome front bumper.
(Well mine doesnt anyway).

Sooo, is it a 73 they added a bumper to or what?

Am I the only one who really doesn't care much for this? Thumbs%20DownThe rear end treatment is nice, but if they chopped up a perfectly good "chromie", shame on them! I really don't care much for the paint job, especially the front end treatment. But then if we were all the same, every Corvette would be RED.
