Only in the photos posted. I've seen worse. What would or would not show up on eBay would depend on how hard the car was hit and whether the owner was intending to repair the damage.

Remember the High School Teacher who was eluding Police and ended up on the TV program COPS when he crashed his C5 at 110mph? He hit the back of a semi, and spun into the desert.

Car went to mere fragments, and he was thrown, enfding up on his butt, but walked away, and into police custody.

He was a teacher at a Mesa Arizona high school. He was fired.

We've got a video on the UK Corvette Club website of a C4 hitting the back of a truck and crashing in the desert:
