He probably thought that since the latest craze are rat rods and he had all those parts around he could win something with it.

Condition: Fair

There's nothing fair about that car, on several different levels...

I'm gonna print and frame those CL ads in case I ever sell my Vette. I'll have the buyer look them over before I show him my car.

Your car is not in the same price range. He's done all kinds of custom work to his.

Normally, I get really irritated when someone picks on another person's car, since they may have saved for years to buy their dream.

However, in these two, it looks like they intentionally set out to destroy the cars.

The red one, if you ignore the diesel and Toyota 5 speed, why did he have to wreck the dash? Trash the interior? Remove the rocker panels?

I can sort of understand the diesel and 5 speed. It is a bit of hot rodder, but in an alien way to almost all Corvette people. But I wouldn't do it or recommend it.


The blue one, where do I begin? I can understand the engine. The engine blew or he bought it without an engine. Had an old Pontiac laying around and it was his chance to have a running Corvette.

But why rip off the front end, cut off the back end, and trash the interior?

The blue one makes the red one look like a steal.

I wouldn't give $2300 for both of them. I would be hard pressed to give $230 for both of them.

I guess this is now our "they are out there" thread.

That one could turn out to be a fun off road truck. And it has some good potential as a part out vehicle too.
