I like my corvette because every time I look at it, I see beautiful lines that cover some great engineering (for an old domestic sports car). It's trim, elegant and flows nicely. This car looks like 10lbs of crap in a 5lb bag. There's nothing about this look that is endearing. What a waste of time and effort.

I looked at some other websites and found that this was a legitimate specialty auto maker. When new they sold for $60,000 in 1980. Thats quite a bit more than a stock vette!.
Factory built between 1979-1982, by Dunham Motor Coach Co. in Boonton, NJ.
Only 50 were built, 5 of which were convertibles.
Starting price was over $60,000 new, in 1980.
Powered by a 350 V8 5.7 liter Corvette engine.
Options included: automatic, air conditioning, cruise control, tilt-telescopic wheel, power windows and locks.
Check out the website for some better looking Caballista Corvettes.

Still not anything that I would go out and buy.

This one's in better shape, but still hideous.

This may not be the ugliest thing that I've ever seen, but it's close.
