I saw that car at a "Toys for Tots" car show on Labor day in Portland.
All heads turned when they heard him coming in. Pretty sweet set up, but not my cup of tea. The paint changes color as you walk around it. He did tell me his wife don't like riding in it so it's time to sell. How the heck do you see where you're going.
I'd be in the market for a nice C-2 if I had that kind of money.

$47,000. For a $5000 hotrod with a staggeringly ugly paintjob.
I can't find one thing I don't dislike about that thing.

,,, its appreciated 
, the car is too far on the extreme end of the corvette spectrum for you to like it, just as I figured, but for a toy (YEP 'spensive) it'd be cool to have on cruise nights, but in reality I think I could find better places to put my money.Peace,,,Moosie

Sorry you had problems, what brand was it?
As far as value, keep in mind this car was advertised in racing junk and not in the NCRS Driveline. A little different audience.

/QUOTE]
No problems...I went peace meal...bought the 502 bare block, bought 4.25" internal balanced crank, JE pistons and rings, H beam rods, solid roller, had the heads and intake...built it myself...
Buy going peace meal, you get the cam you want, pistons, C.R of your choice, etc..etc...and you end up with more cubes, internal balanced engine, better cam and power for about the same or just a tad less than if you buy crate.

When I built my 533, it cost me 3900.00 for the complete short block, including machine work....finish hone, notching the block for rod clearance, etc., solid roller & lifters, springs, but that was way back in 2001.
