The nipple effect on the tail lights is pretty interesting. Must have been cold when they took the pictures

I am a bit scared of an "absolutly Beautiful 15 Trophy winner Custom Corvette has been garadge kept for 28 years" If you can't spell garage or absolutely, I'm not sure I want your car. And that steering wheel belongs on an arcade game. No feedback. I'll pass.

2) Most Tasteless
3) Most Embarrassing to be seen in
4) Most Ridiculous Wing
5) Most Ridiculous Taillights
6) Most Ridiculous Flares
7) Most Accurate Custom Liscense Plate
8) The Longest Waste of Garage Space (28 years garaged)
9) Biggest waste of red paint
10) Most Likely to get Egged in on Halloween

Cars like this give Corvettes a bad name

Not bad at all....


Remove the silly wing, tail lights and the $19.95 Grant steering wheel and you're got a relatively decent driver.

First sideswipe and the ugly flares will go.


Just a few steps and it's a real Vette....
