We are In the process of building this package!
It will be in the $35,000.00 to $38,000.00 range
We do not have to cut the car at all.
And a 2 year warranty.
Let me know if your still interested.

Thank you,

Chuck Mallett

I have e-mailed Mr. Mallett back about what the specifics he may have or is planning for this conversion. I really like the idea of having AC Cobra type car with a modern engine and suspension!

I would ask anybody who is interested in this conversion to drop Mr. Mallett a e-mail so he can get an idea of the interest in this project.

Thank you, I try to make it Perfect!

No! I need to build your car.

I can not get cars from GM, i have to purchase from a dealer.

It keeps all the warranty's correct going threw a dealer.

I am keeping my production at 100 cars to keep quality

super high!!

The first 5 cars are spoken for, and i have received 50 emails

This week alone, if we get a majority pre sold are price comes down.

My suppliers will give us a discount on a larger preorder!

If you have any questions please email me!!

Pass it on!!!!

Thanks

Chuck Mallett


Well, I stand corrected here. Chuck will take your car (EOP), or you can order through a partner dealership of his. I need to get the details about how much the conversion to a car already purchased; my assumption is $12K-$18K depending on options. Will post reply back to this question from Chuck soon.

It works in practice, but does it work in theory?

I wonder how many people will do it though when you have used Z06s getting into the $20K range now. The Miatas, RX7s that you see with V8s are really cheap cars with cheap V8s. I guess Mallot would really only need to do 10 or so for it to make sense.
What I would like to see is a kit with the engine/trany mounts, radiator, and wiring harness. I would like to take a used LS1/T56 and stick that in if somebody had already gone through the pain and suffering of figuring it all out.


Go Mallett go!

Where can buy one of these $20K Z06 Corvettes? They are in the $30K range for the 2001 models!

They are out there...www.corvetteforum.com, check the C5 sale forum. Every so often, there's a high-mileage C5 offered in the under $30K range.

But back on topic...is there any news on how one of these Malletts can be gotten, and how much the price may go down? I wonder if the Information Center still retains all of its diagnostic functionality.

I just passed up the opportunity to purchase a 2003 w/35,000 Miles for $28K. They are out there you just need to find them. Their value will continue to drop since the Z51 C6 pretty much has the same performance numbers.

Mallett I'm sure can find the customers to do it, I would just like to purchase the motor/tranny swap kit so I could add an LS1 and a turbo.
