Well yes the car is real, but someone else stuck the shark stickers on it. That no way in hell came from GM that way.

Care to scan this paperwork?

This still looks like a dealership, or custom job from an owner to me. I think C&C would have put a BIT more effort into making it look not so.... ugly?

Those sides are from the silly testarossa effects kit anyway, so I'm still thinking this was most likely a GTU at one point in it's life. What year is this again? What do the emblems look like on the doors? Does it say "GT" or is it a bowtie?

Your in Green Bay? I'm a stone throw south...

It says beretta GT on the R Quarters and the dash. Only GT on inner door panels. Its a 2.8 5 spd. I dont think it is a GTU because the R tortion bar is not solid it hollow. Patrick, I think you should see this one first hand.

That is NOT a GM or Cars and Concepts design!!

WAY too stupid and crude!

Say what you like but they were very professional in their approach and without a whole whack of documentation I'm calling BS on this thing!

GM would NEVER let that POS out the door!

We know Cranky, but it is nice to get more information before we all jump on the FAKE! bandwagon.

It's just a GT with the testarossa ground effect package. It can't have been a GTU at this point due to the gt logo on the side of the car, lack of bow tie door panel flair, and standard issue BERETTA dash plaque. The C&C sticker is most probably there from a GTU deck lid though. It's interesting none the less, and I might just take a trip north to atleast see it, since it is so close.


Forest, did you join because you plan on keeping it, or just wanted more information on Berettas?

Pat... Get up there and inspect this thing. I have to agree that I can't see C&C being responsible for this combo... It just seems really odd... especially since the door skirts of the body kit seem to be missing... unless they didn't have a door portion.
