I read everyone's comments first... then looked at the pictures... it's not as bad as I thought it would be... O.K. that's a lie, it's just as bad everyone described.

That car would look a lot better being dropped in a crusher.

What did he mean by " these cars had over 500 horsepower"? What OTHER cars? Are there more like this? So he got a dremel for christmas, and wanted to see how it would cut and drill fiberglass. His problem, not mine!

There's a reason the door gaps are wide open at the top and small at the bottom.

God aweful...

NO, I'd drive the Corvette Summer Corvette all day long before I jumped in that thing. At least the workmanship looks like someone at least tried on the Corvette Summer car.

Oh, by the way, for the super genius posting this piece o' crap, Convertables can have a roof too! This is a "roadster" .............sort of.

In an open roadster class in road racing would be the only use for that thing. Cruise nights? No, sorry, I'm not that brave. I couldn't take the ridicule.

That would be a fun car at the local circle dirt track. You should see some of the run what ya brung cars there. This car prolly breakes a few rules and wouldn't be classified. I'd cut down the windsheid, remove the rear bumper and both doors. You could just bump Priuses from the left lane and not worry about your paint.

18 bidders, 28 bids and it's up to $4800.00 with 8hrs.to go. I would give odds the person with (0) buy history, that has bid so many times, is the sellers buddy bidding the price up.

May I suggest we all go in $20.00...buy this "car"...and have it put down humanely. It looks like it's suffering.
