The Chevrolet Corvette may not be the most glamorous sports car, and its quality – arguably until the C7 generation – was never really a strong suit. But what it sometimes lacked in refinement, it made up for with solid, dependable mechanicals.

That mechanical excellence made it an appealing starting point for a number of coachbuilders over the years, many of whom saw the ’Vette as the perfect donor for their own sports car.
