A 1990 Corvette merged with a 1969 Firebird front end surfaces in Indiana for $6,495, and yes—it's street legal.
A curious automotive creation is drawing attention online after surfacing on Facebook Marketplace. Described as a 1990 Chevrolet Corvette turned into a “buggy” with the front clip of a 1969 Pontiac Firebird, the oddball mashup is now listed for sale in Fort Wayne, Indiana, for $6,495.
The vehicle features a C4 Corvette chassis and drivetrain with significant visual modifications. A sliced-down Firebird hood and grille are mounted to a narrowed Firebird front fascia, giving the front end a vintage muscle car look—albeit with exposed wheels and visible suspension components more akin to a dune buggy or “Vette Kart.”
In back, Pontiac rear fenders and oversized tires frame a Corvette rear bumper cover, while a massive chrome wing sits on the decklid, seemingly borrowed from a sport compact tuner playbook. Weld Racing wheels and chrome side-exit exhaust complete the radically reimagined bodywork.
Under the hood, the builder retained the Corvette’s original 5.7-liter V8 paired with a 6-speed manual transmission. The seller states the car “runs and drives good” and emphasizes that it is, in fact, street legal—despite its Frankenstein appearance and rebuilt title.
The interior has been gutted and simplified. The original 1990 Corvette dashboard remains, including the factory HVAC controls, although the radio has been removed. Lightweight aftermarket seats and a black roll bar replace the factory setup. With no doors or roof, the seller assures buyers that “the top comes off”—a humorous understatement for the fully exposed cockpit.
While purists may be baffled by the combination of classic Pontiac styling and C4 Corvette engineering, others may see it as a unique, head-turning cruiser. Whether it’s a conversation piece, burnout machine, or an artistic statement, one thing’s for sure: you won’t see another one like it on the road.
