Makes me think of Mark Hamill in the movie "Corvette Summer"

seen the movie, love it. One of the movies that helped make me fall in love with cars. The vette in it is nice, but I really loved the firebird/ta.

This looks like a fun project. Just check the frame and birdcage for rust before you buy. If it's been sitting outside for a while, it might be done for.

Value is minimal. It just a car that has been highly modified. I wouldn't want to pay more than about 3k for it if there are no rust issues and it runs.

Do these kinds of vettes ever sell for anything substantial? Those hidious designs were probally considered extremley cool and amazing back in the day. That one for sale above might be something interesting to pick up if it was like dirt cheap but I think I rather get a closer look at the cars in the back ground.
