That's a surprise because Mid America has owned it for years. Is it the original or a clone?

Got to be one of the ugliest Corvettes made.
I saw it from afar at the 50th Celebration. Turned and walked the other direction.

Ugly but how many did they use in the movie?

Here's Mid America's car taken last October. I don't know if it's the same car or not. I was amused that the 'reflective' material in the back was crumpled up aluminum foil behind clear red plastic.

Edit: The ebay one is definitely a clone. Not that it matters. They're ALL butt ugly.

Without a doubt, this one car did more to boost Bloomington Gold and NCRS than all the restored Corvettes put together.

Still, part of me likes it a lot, the other part kind of cringes.

Absolutely no money was put into the motor--bird's nest wiring, flex fan, and no fan shroud.

was the movie good?

Good example for you "Custom" guys. What may look nice today, may look like s__t tomarrow. The very definition of "Classic", is that it stands the test of time.

the first time i saw the movie i was a young man at a drive in. i thought it was a very good movie . however i was parked in the back row and was more interested with my date at the time if you know what i am saying it was on TV last summer and i thought it was the dumbest movie ever.

The original movie car was right hand drive. the one on e-bay is not.
I'm kind of sorry I know that.

is it worth watching/renting?

She looks pretty good compared to the other custom in Mike's museum.

what the H*LL is that bozo saying in the auction?????

it once sold for over $75K last march??? but it will now
be sold to the highest bidder.

who the heck does he think he is kidding, it is definitely
a clone and not a real good one at that.

I think only 2. The one Mid America owns and the other, I believe I read somewhere, is in Australia.

Do you know why it had right hand drive? So you could talk to chicks walking down the sidewalk while you're out cruzin! Honest to God. And as far as this being a lesson to customizer's.........This one was seen as a disaster by everyone from the day the movie opened, believe me.

Check this out. The company that painted my vette was contracted to do this. What a waist of money, in my eyes.
