Why do people insist on butchering these cars?

This not the first time this type of body mod has been shown on vettes before. As a matter of fact a few years ago, I saw one that was touted as John Belushi's that had the same type of body mods to it. There were 2 of them side by side at Corvette Expo and neither one of them are pictured here. I wonder was this a body kit?

i'd give him some gum and the lint in my pocket.. then maybe i could use my money to fix all the mistakes and damage done to that poor car..

SkunkApe

You're much too generous. A good stick of gum costs well over 5 cents. I'd just offer the lint.

Looks as if it closed without any bids

Apparently the bat cave needed remodeling. I geuss crime fighting doesn't pay that much anymore.

There's a nimrod around here who has a PT Cruiser tricked-out with Batman insignia (wheel covers, doors, etc.). He would be a good target market for this car.

I am sorry, I wasnt going to say anything. I know it takes all kinds to make this world go around, but why in the world would you even think about doing something like that. All but Destroying a '72. Then seeing the '74 with similar mods. Someone thought that this mod was good enough to be repeated more than once??? People like that should stick with playing, hell I dont know but they should not be allowed to play with cars.

There are a bunch of these heavily modified Vettes running around in Detroit. I would have to say that most of these chop jobs were done in the mid-70's when the cars really weren't collectible. I can almost guarantee that this "Batmobile" was done between 1974-1979.

I see one 1963 Split Window at many of the shows in which the rear windows have been cut to look like a heart. This along with extra brake lights in the back and a custom front ends was more common in the 1970's custom work.

I also see a bunch of converted C3 Corvette Wagons each summer. I can remember when Ecklers sold a ton of these kits. It was the "cool" thing to do with your Corvette.

I wouldn't be too hard on the sellers as they were just trying to make their car look different.

I've recently seen some Chip Foose stuff from the early '90's. It looks terrible now, in my opinion. Some of George Barris' stuff from the '60's and '70's looks outright garish today. During his time, Barris was hotter than Coddington and Foose put together.

Many people will think the same of the G-Machine stuff being done today. Sorry, but the only way to 100% guarantee that nobody laughs at your car in 20 years is to keep it stock.

There's no accounting for good taste.

What I don't get is that many of these people have solid mechanical skills and yet they choose to deploy their efforts into ridiculous projects. I guess it all goes back to my first sentence.

I consider myself to be pretty open-minded; it's your car - do what you want. But that's just too much to take. The number of bids (0) speaks volumes...
