    Corvette Avelate

    Is there such a Corvette as a Corvette Avelate that GM built in limited numbers in 2002. Person on line claims he owns one? Said GM only built 20 ?

    As often, Google is your friend:

    When noted auto designer Don Johnson and rod builder Dean Arnold joined forces in the late '90s to build the ultimate C5 split-window, the resulting car was the rare 2002 Avelate C5 of which only 27 were ever produced. Using Euro-style side panels and other custom moldings, the Avelate is now part of C5 history.

      The Avelate is a conversion done to existing cars by a company in my neighboring town. I have no idea if they are still in business as the cars never really sold well. Saw one or two at local car shows with nobody paying them any attention. IMHO, they are ugly as he11.

          Ugly is not an adequate word. Wonder why they sold slowly?

            Fifty years from now it might be something worth having but I don't think I would hold my breath.

                Maybe these could be entered in the new "Concours Class" judging?

                  Or, more likely, the Concours d'Lemons
