Someone should set this poor Vette on fire to take it out of its misery, seems the most humane thing to do for the unlucky car....

And while they are at it, it would be a good idea to strap the person who did this in the front seat.

My lord what are people thinking....

Asking $2300, that's about $2500 too high!

its amazing to see these cars, and the owners wanting several thousand dollars. Its probably more amazing to find people willing to pay for this thinking they got a good deal.

That just makes me sad. Thinking how nice that car was at one time. How proud the first owners where when they brought it home and how they showed it off to the neighbors.
The car has to be saying " just shoot me already" right now.
I would not even take it as a free parts car since .. Well...
Very sad.

This one has a Zora Arkus Duntov custom steering wheel. Signature stamped in the aluminum top right. Hard to come by and maybe worth $350 if in good shape

I believe many years ago a picture surfaced of this car in all it's glory. It was a LOT worse. I mean it looked like bubba went on a binge and didn't sleep for a few weeks. Someone got this car and thought they could bring it back to life.
