(SMH). It never ceases to amaze me what people will do to these cars.

https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...ebody-etc.html

Is it a Z06 or a ZR1? I guess this one could use either bathroom........

Well... it has ZR1 badges...so, there you go
If it was a Z06 it would have Z06 badges duh...
Or if it had GTO badges it would be a GTO .... gah
What would be really cool would be to put one of these on

then it would be a Ferrari...

There is so much randomness going on, none of it makes any sense......

55.00 is indeed a deal. But you better factor in another 10K for a paint job. You might offset that cost a bit when you sell the ironing board attached to the trunk.

you know...we all have our opinions, likes and dislikes. Most guys don't build their cars to conform to others opinions or idea of what is cool or not. They guy built the car like he wanted it and appears to have done some quality work. You don't like it.....don't buy it....but I don't feel it is right to run someone else's hard work or hard earned money that was spent, in to the ground. Just my opinion though.

Don't agree with the paint or badges, but that car has nothing but high quality parts.

Funny thing. Internet forums are purely for opinions. Not all of them are going to be good. I resisted the urge to make fun of the car in his thread, since that is frowned upon........

the worst part is it's a salvage title, it's going to be very hard for him to sell it at that price regardless of what anyone thinks about how it looks... it has a lot of high quality parts on it, I think he would be better off trying to part it out

Considering that guy has owned a Gallardo and other high end cars, I'm sure he really cares what a bunch of C5 owners think of his build

Baller $$$ doesn't guarantee good taste. Plenty of evidence out there of that.

What I don't get is how a car that was salvaged at 18k miles is now only a 6k mile car.

Yeah, that is strange.

And although it has a ton of engine and suspension upgrades, it is still a 7 year old car with a salvage title that the owner wants 55 THOUSAND dollars for.

Not to mention it's fugly......
