Obviously, he saw a photo of a Clénet and said to himself, 'Dang! I gotta build me one of them...'

I personally appreciate the rear fenders he picked up in the 'Trailer Repair' section of Tractor Supply. Fitting touch...

As long as the trailer is part of the deal, would take it to scrap metal yard and get metal weight and keep the trailer.

Ah yes. That FrankenVagen was the topic of some amusing banter here last week. And wow! Is ANYBODY surprised it's STILL on the market? How can THAT be?

It's a shame that guy's talent can't be channeled to better use. Imagine what he could do with a rattle can and a wall on an abandoned building.

I think the front fenders would look great on a rat rod pickup.

The only thing that I saw of any value (to me anyway) was possibly the differential and judging by the looks of the rest of the rear suspension its probably crapped out as well.

That's a very rare Amer-itish edition of the famous Corvettmg. I think I see some rebuildable trailing arms under there.

I love how this guy thinks that someone will give him $800 for a car that was built with the stuff he had laying around in his yard...Just thrown together.

At least no one will know it has Corvette in its DNA...I understand vision and all, but that's terrible!

A true "FRIEND" would have dropped it off for scrap and spent the $90 he got for weight on beer and brought that back instead...
