That's way to chunky and boxy looking - no sleek lines in the body style. Definitely should be included in The Worlds Ugliest Corvette thread.

A battery powered "Barbie" Corvette has better proportions.

You know, it's one of those things where it was so ugly, I just had to look again!
I'd call that a Corvette for the geek/nerd. I could just see that car in a Revenge of the Nerds IV movie.

exactly. it looks like a "computer generated" corvette from the 80's... y'know like that iguy from the "money for nothing" video should be stepping out of it.



or maybe it looks more like the legoland vette

That looks more like a C3, than several modified C3's that I have seen.

It's not a bad looking car. I'd have to agree that it's in better taste than half the "customized" C3 abortions that you see. And, hey, look at the bright side. You can always upgrade to the 2.3L Pinto engine if you can handle the extra power.
