I'll pass on the 'Vette....at least I think it's a 'vette. Looks like a decent roadster in the background of one of those pics however.

I think your question why should be for the next new owner!! However, if I am seeing it right it shoudldn't take more than a new rear bumber and original corvette lights to make it look like a greenwood replica...

Priced a little high, but with a new bumper it would make a nice custom.

This guy needs a reality check for trying to sell that for almost 13k. The sad thing is some poor sap will probably buy it Maybe the new owner will get the right rear bumper and make it look right.

That tail job is the first example of customizing ever to cause me to think the Corvette Summer monstrosity might not be the worst looking Vette, afterall.

I almost bought this one. He put it back up but with a buy it now and some guy snatched it and shipped it to Germany.

Of course I would never be able to open the hood except in the garage at night with the doors locked and the lights off
Still...... would have named it the Deathstar!

To each his own I suppose, but in my humble opinion it's a bastardized embarrassment! That would never sit in my driveway. It might be restorable but would it be worth the money?
