Default Ugly Corvette's? Post your pics!!!

Now obviously "beuty is in the eye of the beholder", so I know some will post pics here of Vette's they consider ugly and others will say they like them. So from the start let's agree that no flaming on what pics people post (shoo, shoo, go away flamers).
Here's a few ugly Vette's I've found on the net:

This guy just doesn't realize that jacking the rear end up way high went out of style years ago:

I actually kinda like this.


And this looks like a car lot in Vegas that I use to pass every day when I lived there back from '92-'95. He always had kit cars and stuff like that. they had a Ferrari Testarossa kit forever. They were ALWAYS in legal trouble. One particular time, they ran a couple of stories of how they would separate young couples that were on the lot. They would take the girl to an office somewhere in the building and coerce her to perform sexual acts so that she could help the boyfriend/husband get the car.

No picture but I remember back in about 76 I saw a C3 that was covered in pennies. Not just a few but every square inch of the car was covered. Asked why, answer was why not. something different. Car was extremly heavy and said it was a show car. Had to be the ugliest thing I had seen. Took a lot of time to glue each one on.

I don't think this one is ugly, looks like a good project vette. I'd take her.
As far as the limo vette, its cooler then a hummer limo. Rather see one of my daughters getting out of it on their wedding day.

That said, I'll submit this one. Although it does have a purpose.
