Default Authentic Convertable Z06

This is a Z06 converted to a convertible. I've posted this car before, but it was a while ago. It belongs to a good friend of mine, and we went out to take some pictures...

Anyway, here are ore Photoshoot pictures with the gorgeous car... These pictures had a much better result then the last one.

Here are some shots:


This guy couldn't seem to get enough of Rich's car...





$$$$ Shot...


Enjoy!

Well he purchased the car with the modification done to it prior. He's done some research on the matter and the cost seems to be around 15-20k depending. I feel bad for the previous owner who converted it and spent the cash of the Z06 + the conversion.

Although it may be a real z06 I don't think it is anymore but nonetheless a NICE car! There was a C6 Z on ebay that was converted to a targa top, looked good.

I agree its a nice car, but to claim its not a Z06 anymore is still confusing to me.

If you put an L92 into a Corvette, does it make it an Escalade? Modifications visually do not change what the car really is. Its as simple as a z06 with a drop top.

post some pics of the top up. Is it a power retractable hardtop? I almost bought a C5 Zo6. I was just standing there looking at it waiting for the car salesman to get the keys. Then he starts walking up to me and smiles and hits a button on the remote and the fcking roof folded away!!! At the time it was one of onl;y 3 i think now theres like 30. I should have got it they only wanted 39k for it and it was a 2004 but the thing most asppealing about a zo6 to me was a hardtop. After the noisy C5 targa and the Leaky fbody t-tops. My 94 v-6 has by far the best top of any of my gm cars cause its a Hardtop! Oh and my zo6 of course but it makes a little noise still.

His is a cloth top. Basically a C5 top converted over to the z06 chassis.

To me C5 z06 are supposed to be a FRC and not a convertible.

nice car. but its not an "authentic Z06 convertiable" its an authentic Z06 none the less, but if it were an "authentic Z06 convertable", it would have come from the factory that way and your buddy wouldnt own it. some GM executive would.
