If the above link doesn't work go to eBay item # 142256561134.

BTW: I have no connection to this car, but if someone on the Forum buys it, I want the first ride.

Fugly IMO!

Then you sir should be driving a Mustang. This is the Picasso of Corvettes. A Rembrandt even. In fact, if Picasso and Rembrandt got married and had children, their children would have built this car. That's how beautiful it is.

Owned three real Mustangs. Wish I still had my 69 BOSS 302. It was pretty much stock....the way I like them. A Corvette shouldn't look like an 80's Stutz IMO!

I would be embarrassed to be seen with that...

Easy Mike

The way I see it, a true Corvette lover would not have done that.

The key is in the advertising: rare, custom, iconic, distinctive, "Super-Fly" (I don't even know what that means ?pimpmobile?) Ad says they built 51. Why 51?
There is a lid for every pot and there are people bidding on it.

Yes - it means pimpmobile. From my limited pimpmobile knowledge, this workshop was renowned for creating pimpmobiles in the 70s, some of them using corvette bodies BTW. I think I read somewhere that one of the pimpmobiles seen in James Bond Live & Let Die was a C2 mod with a Cadillac style body.

I find this hilarious BTW. Only sad to see they used a manual for this !!

Looks like a pimp got a hold of it. The doors aren't even aligned right.

he is referring to the "blaxploitation" movie Super Fly. A must-see microcosm of urban late 60s-early 70s America. My father unwittingly befriended an enforcer for the Mob in the early 70s, and I got a chance as a young teen to tour Chicago with said enforcer in his white 1970 Eldorado as checked in with his "clients" (pimps). I was too immersed in the various rides I saw to fully grasp what was really going down. Naïveté can be a good thing.

Caballista??

All that and no velour or **** carpet in the interior?

51? Maybe it was made in Area 51??

AARRA

The new POTUS is going to clean up Chicago, although I am not sure if he is referring to the City or the movie. Given your background, you really need this car. Admit it, you want it.
Coincidentally, my early days were similar to yours. My father was a union president and had similar acquaintances. You should bid on the car. I promise not to outbid you.

I already own a C3 and a C1. I'll definitely pass

This says it all....

AARRA

When you say "pass", I understand that you mean pass the C1 to me to free up space in your garage for that beautiful specimen of a car. Remember, bid high and bid often.
