There's a special place in hell for people who do that to a Corvette.

Smoke definitely wouldn't. I've picked him for every race since he came into NASCAR. Hope he heals up fast. It's odd not to be rooting for him.

Ugly is, as ugly does! Another Corvette from Bakersfield...

Not sure which one would be more embarrassing to drive, the Star Wars fantasy Corvette, with half naked Princess Leia or the one below!

Would somebody please lance that thing!!!!

As bad as the car is, I love that they couldn't even be motivated enough to move the Monster Energy can before snapping the pics.

I think this car was done by Chuck Barris. It was appraised at $150,000 and they are asking $125,000.

(lol, just kidding)

I bet you if Chuck Barris did do this car you wouldnt be mocking the way it looks.


70's or not, this is probably just awesome in someones eyes.

Personally, I find most (certainly not all) of his stuff hideous.

George Barris is The Man. But A lot of his stuff was just as ugly. I like a lot of his cars. And not just the ones that everybody knows. For example there"s the Hirohata Merc. Still one of the most beautiful early fifties customs ever built.
