Looks like the VIN plate is missing, but its actually painted over black. Id want to see it better.

Expensive missing rear window trim.

Looks like it is missing about $6-8.000 worth of one year only moldings.

I have heard some sketchy things about Beverly Hills Car Club. Not about Corvettes, but a lot of negative publicity from the British car world.

I am a firm believer in buying the best car you can afford.
This car represents what NOT to buy.

Tons of missing one year only parts.
For $39,500 you will be buried trying to make this car whole.

Having been interested in various cars being sold by Beverly Hills Car club, the latin phrase "Caveat Emptor" ( Buyer Beware) truly applies, as in my attempted dealings, I would profoundly state, that they are hardly forthright ...Mark

That reminds me - I need to get my tetanus shot renewed.

Looks like an early one with the under seat tool trays.

A very, very needy early one.

$20K in retail parts to start, plus full frame off paint, at another $15-20K.

If they have it on the lift, why don't they connect the driveshaft?

Maybe b/c it won't roll with it connected?
