Corvette is it's own platform, at least the C4's were.

 

GM G-Bodies are:

Chevy Monte Carlo (LS and SS)

Buick Regal (and the different turbo buick's)

Olds Cutlass (and 442 and Hurst edition)

 

I would recommend going with the SS Monte Carlo personally.

The only platform sharing that I know of that the Corvette was involved with is a current Cadillac, I believe it's the XLR? I'm not sure of it's name, but it's easy to tell just by looking at it that it's the same platform. Other than that, I don't think there has ever been another car built on the vette platform.

fixed. ;)

Don't do the G body, everyone in Vinton county has a motor swapped monte. I'd seriously recomend finding an old Nash. Metropolitans may be tough to find, but you can find a rambler or something instead. Still be a hell of a sleeper. ;)

As interesting as the Benz swap would be, I don't think I'm gonna do that. I was hoping to have my mind changed, but nothing really sparks my interest that I've seen. Seems that the 240Z is it. Thanks for the help smile.gif
