If it were a Greenwood car, it may justify the price. Since they didn't really explain the high asking price, without and history, it just seems like an overpriced/over-modified vette to me.
It does have some redeeming qualities.

If this is the real deal, restored back to original it would bring as much as a Motion car. You guys need to look past the ugly and respect the history.
Just noticed the tag behind the passenger side glass, this looks like the real deal...

The problem is the car is not advertised as a rare historical Motion-esque piece with a traceable VIN or something, it's just another ugly Mickey Mouse custom with a laughable price tag.
Of course, it doesn't mean some idiot won't buy it. Happens every day.

IF this is a genuine Greenwood car the price is appropriate. For you C3 noobs who don't know the history of the car your driving (which is most of you judging from all the bashing of this car), John (driver/engineer) and Burt (fabricator/engineer) Greenwood were as close to the C6R teams as you could get in the late 60's thru the 70's. /:\It doesn't make it look nice though...its still as ugly as they come if you ask me.....I wouldn't pay a dime for it 'cause I just don't like it. I don't care who designed it or who's name is on it.

Many of the customs out there are probably screwed up in the opinion of most purists, including mine, which I plan to keep, because I would love to have it!

And everyone couldn't stop talking about this car on the forum. The ugly Greenwood would have spanked Merlins car.

The boost gauge, don't know if the turbo gt came with such a gauge. If it was a turbo gt, it's missing the plaque and engine and I think all that were built are already accounted for.
