John B. Posted July 23, 2021 Posted July 23, 2021 Hello; John Cafaro, the GM's chief designer of the C4 and C5 Corvettes, envisioned a speedster model for production. Although it never made it to Chevrolet showrooms, Mr. Cafaro designed and built five examples of a C5 Speedster on his own with the assistance of another GM engineer, Mr. Iovino. This is my attempt to portray how a production C5 Speedster might have looked. Thanks for looking and comments welcome.
espo Posted July 23, 2021 Posted July 23, 2021 Beautiful looking Vette. I remember seeing the prototypes featured in magazines of the day. The paint has a lot of glitter to it but looks good that way.
John B. Posted July 23, 2021 Author Posted July 23, 2021 Thank you, David; thank you, Ray. ? The color is Testors Lime Ice.

robertw Posted July 24, 2021 Posted July 24, 2021 Your colour choice is the kind of colour that Reeves Callaway put on his Speedsters in the 90's, out of the ordinary and very cool. Well done, I like it.
