Never liked that nose - always looked like the goofy kid in 4th grade with thick glasses and incredible overbite

It has Colorado (I think) plates so the owner probably just got it.

I think it is a scam. I have seen it on the NY CL a few times. It has Texas plates.
Scammer should use better bait. That front is UH-GA-LEE.

The car has Texas plates, but the black Lincoln in the background in this pic, looks like it does have Jersey tags on it.

The original Corvette XP700 was pretty good looking, but somehow those Acme noses never come off as well as the original.

Goes to show how some 'customs' age.....not very well. Tacky then, tackier now. Like the Easter Egg cars of the '80's-'90's.....blech.

Hello 62 Several years ago that car was shown at some local car shows in the area by an older private owner. Sorry to see someone chopped the nose like that. Is it for sale now ?
