Default saw this vette on Craigslist cool or not?

I like the art, just can't decide if it should be on a vette. Anyone seen it in person?

I personally do not like it at all, however I can respect it because I know how much it cost. I would have spent the money elsewhere, but if the owner liked it then that is all that matters anyways. Will likely be a tough sale.

Well that is one expensive effort that totally ruined an otherwise great car.

Definitely one of the most hideous paint jobs I have seen. I wonder what he wants for it.

Have to like skulls. I personally am against skulls or fire on my car for obvious reasons.

141k miles, known listed problems with car and has a note for 9k. 10k paint job, let's see pay off car for 9k that's worth 13-14k or put 10k into paint and still owe 9k.

At least we can get to see a paint job like this for free, maybe he should sell each panel as 'art' might make more.

Owning corvettes just makes us spend money, this is no different.

I have never figured out the fascination with skulls.

A hell of a lot wrong with it, $45K invested, still owes 9 grand on it and he won't take what it is really worth. He better hope there really is a sucker born every minute.

Even *IF* I liked the look I wouldn't even consider buying it after reading his ad description.

I absolutely love it.........................Just not in my garage.

I'm a skull guy, seen them on fuel rail covers, under the hood, there just might be one too many on there for me to own it!

If nothing more, it appears the seller is somewhat honest about the car's condition, even if he isn't realistic about it's worth....
