I'm not a fan of this, BUT you haven't been looking at Corvettes long if you think this is the worst!!!

I've seen Corvettes "crossed" with a Lincoln Mark IV - That was ugly....

Google Tubgirl for ugly
The Jasper Engine and Transmission would scare me off LONG before the paint & color choices

I think this place is becoming more NCRS than NCRS. It is ok if you modify your Corvette, but not the other guy.
See I disagree here, I havent seen anyone claim these cars suck or anything, though there is a clear consensus that they are unattractive (at least inso far as the green car and the sea mural car)

Unattractive is a very subjective thing, clearly the owners of these cars dont believe they are ugly, or at least one would hope so. There are people who thought my rear cap was ugly...thats fine.. its not ugly to me..the green car is ugly to me... the mural car isnt desirable because the mural is just....eh...its a mural...if i want a mural i'll buy a 70's van with a **** carpet interior...again.. this is just me...no reflection on anyone elses tases but my own.

My issue with the 1st car is that it has a poorly coordinated color combination that is not complimentary to the car in my eyes, the interior is even worse than the exterior with its quasi-dayglo seat inserts. To add onto that the positively lunatic assumption of value if the seller is really serious about 55k he has worse issues than color choice to deal with.

The red car I have no problems with apart from in general i am not fond of engines poking out of hoods...but that again is just me.

To call this one ugly would be a stretch.

$37k are they high. What am I saying they must have been when the built it. I'm No expert on enginering, but isn't it too long to turn a corner, Too low no head room, and the suspension must be extreemly harsh to handle all the extra weight. Ruin somthing else , but not a corvette.

I have a 2 month old son. I named him Deron. Funny, I see your name is the same.

I have never met another Deron in my life. I have only seen the name used here and there. Don't count on him ever finding a key chain or coffee mug with his name on it at a gift shop.
