I saw this car last winter at the Barrett Jackson auction in West Palm FL. It was in the line up I did not stick around to see what happened.

What an attention getter - I bet kids love it. I think most people would think twice about tailgating this car.

Somebody spent a lot of time and money to screw up that car! Looks like the result of some childhood head injury!

I'm amazed at the time and effort it took to create that vehicle. Taken as a massive time investment, it is an impressive and otherwise VERY clean looking Corvette.

Shame all that wonderful time and effort was spent ugly-fy-ing an otherwise beautiful car.

Point: If that was a flat black C2 with shiny stripes and some other touches, that car would EASILY be worth what he is asking for it. It would actually be a good deal.

All teh crap screwed it up to the point that IF someone purchased the car, it would be to get the car UNDERNEATH the crap.

I scoped the price because I was thinking about buying it. Too high to be worthwhile, but it looks like an excellent condition car and I think most of the stuff could be fixed up with minimal effort. Looks like a great driver. Put some cash into a paint job and fix up the chrome and you'll add $10-15k of value.

I guess this is why there is vanilla, chocolate and strawberry. Myself, I like just plain old vanilla.

So what, pray tell, is the flavor of this particular vehicle? Rocky Road with some hollow-point fragments mixed in?
