That's the kind of thing I would expect to see out by the trash can on garbage day with a "Free" sign on it!

You would probably need some penicillin after touching it

I am surprised nobody posted that pic sooner. I wonder if Chips is still in business.

At first I thought "Well, that could be kindof cool with potential, I have seen worse" until the close-up pictures and the interior. YIKES!
I wouldn't even want to sit near that thing. Let alone, in it!

In all fairness to Chip I doubt he's responsible for the shape into which this Vette has deteriorated. However, IMHO this thing would likely still qualify as a master-POS even in pristine condition, so it's no wonder shots of it weren't included on his site. Wouldn't mind having that '69 GS or maybe that black '73 Grand Am, tho.

this guy must be smoking crack. its up to $3000. and it did not meet his reserve yet.. Barnum was right "there is a sucker born everyday" I figured at $1000. if would have been a good project to turn into a vert. but over $3k you have to be
