Found this in the junkyard
 

A year or so ago my buddies and I were walking around the local junkyard and came across this old vette just sitting there. Looks like the Greenwood version?

RE: Found this in the junkyard
 

Went surfin' at work today.......( don't tell my Boss :D).....and I did a search for some Vette stuff. I ran across a Greenwood GTO that had the same body parts. They did go on to mention that the "Greenwoods", had a professional racing suspension. If I were you, I'd sell everything I had, 'cept for my ......well....uh. Man, that would be a tough choice to make, between it an my "Starship". But, do ya get my point? .....and go see if that Vette is still there, and bring it home. ( before the person that has it, finds out what it is :D) Offer 'em 2gs, and see what they say.

Like DV8 says in his signature,"A question not asked, is the same as gettingthe answer no."

( I'll try to find the site again, and post back a link. )

Back by popular demand, Greenwood Corvettes is proud to offer the first in a series of vintage body kits for the 1968 to 1982 Corvettes. Our GTO body kit is made from the same molds that our original GTOs used. We now build all parts with vinylester resin, which means your Greenwood G3 bodies are stronger than ever.

RE: Found this in the junkyard
 

I got so excited, I forgot to post this part. :D

The exciting appearance of the Greenwood G3 package comes largely as a result of a seriously functional design. Our aerodynamics are designed to be felt at reasonable speeds. You don't have to drive at the redline to feel the change in your car's stabilty. Competition tested, the overwhelming effectiveness was proven on the T&R Racing #13 Greenwood-bodied Corvette which set track records at Daytona International Speedway back in 1982. The most refined aerodynamic body ever produced for the C3 Corvette is again available.

Here's the "G"4.

http://www.greenwoodcorvettes.net/images/g4_blue.gif SERIES 1984 - 1996







http://www.greenwoodcorvettes.net/im.../G4R7intro.jpg




With the development of the G4R body conversion Greenwood has taken styling, aerodynamics and quality to a new level. This state-of-the-art package is more impressive in person than pictures can convey. The Greenwoods consider the G4 series to be the most effective and street practical conversion they have introduced.

The exciting appearance of the Greenwood G4R package comes largely as a result of a seriously functional design. Aerodynamics are designed to be felt at reasonable speeds. You don't have to drive at the redline to feel the change in your car's stabilty. Competition tested, the overwhelming effectiveness was proven on Sean Roe's Greenwood-bodied Corvette which proved capable of dominating races and setting records in the Bridgestone Supercar Series. Adapted for the street and now available for your Corvette, the G4R package offers many features coveted by the discerning enthusiast.

IMPROVED PERFORMANCE

The improved stability, and grip are remarkable and felt at reasonable speeds. Optional Windshield Fairings and Mirrors reduce turbulence and noticeably quiet the interior.
BETTER COOLING
Unlike the competition, the Greenwood package actually improves the cooling. The Front Wing virtually force feeds air to the radiator and Hood Louvers and side louvers increase the venting of heat from the engine compartment and improve the function of the radiator.
PROTECTION FOR YOUR INVESTMENT
Hard rubber skids on the bottoms of the Front Spoiler and Rear Quarters prevent painted surfaces from scraping the pavement.
This all serial numbered package represents a culmination of years of research and development. We've placed tremendous attention to detail as we considered each and every facet of the driveability of your car. Be among the few to own one of these true collector cars.

Greenwood has always been the leader in high performance aerodynamics and we are proud to offer the finest and most effective designs for your C5 Corvette.
All of our parts are made with vinylester resins, e-glass and kevlar cloths, and aircraft grade aluminum for our optional brackets. The G5R and RS Wings are mounted directly to your C5's frame for the most effective transference of downforce. Our Front Splitter has the flexibility to move upward on impact, and not deflect downward at high speeds. The Side Rockers are designed to produce downforce and feed the functional rear brake ducts. Our Rear Tunnel and Quarters reduce drag and vector exhaust gases away from the rear of your C5. The Windshield Fairing helps smooth the airflow over and around the C5's windshield, helping to reduce buffeting and wind noise.

The Street Sharks
by Mike Guyette

As was the norm in the '60s and '70s and still is to this day, racing technology, to some extent, found its way into production autos. In an effort to offset some production costs of specially tooled items and help finance their racing endeavors, the Greenwoods decided to offer a series of custom built street cars. Initially they were built primarily based on aerodynamics and styling cues, but eventually became nothing short of high speed endurance racers for the street. True Corvette enthusiasts of the day could, for a price, have such an automobile configured the Greenwood way.

Between 1975 and 1981, forty-three custom made street cars based on five distinct body styles were produced by Greenwood International. The last three series – the Turbo GT, Daytona and GTO – all used turbocharged small block engines. Just as the race cars were copied, so too, were some of the street styles.

Eckler's of Titusville, Florida came out with their own swoopy body conversions, known as the Can Am and CR-II series. Often mistaken for a Greenwood design (and the reason for including them here), the Can Am somewhat resembled a cross between a Sebring GT and Turbo GT. Variations of the Can Am included recessed rectangular headlights, triple taillights, and even a functioning hatchback.

Most, but not all Greenwoods, were serialized with some sort of ID plate, which helps to authenticate a Greenwood from a kit or other manufacturer. The five styles were, in chronological order (with quantities), the GT/Sebring GT (32), Sportwagon (1), Turbo GT (3), Daytona (5) and GTO (2).

The following chart indicates the distribution of each design and the model year in which the cars were built.
