If you’ve ever wanted to cruise Sunset Boulevard in a 1980 Chevy Corvette with a targa top but have too many friends, here the solution.

For whatever reason, Pasadena-based California Custom Coach built six four-door Corvettes back in 1980 by basically fusing two Corvettes together to make a five-door hatchback sports car. It may not be factory but it’s original, meaning a 5.7-litre V8 paired to a four-speed automatic making a whopping 150kW.

It’s very red, and could be just one of two surviving examples.

Interested? You’ll need to hit up NBS Auto Showroom in Milpitas, California and part with $217,203 American dollars, or $NZ325,706. Why that exact number is anyone’s guess but for about twenty grand more, you can have a brand new turbocharged V8-powered Porsche Panamera Turbo.

Each to their own, of course...
