"You'll never see another one like it"...probably for the better.
Every time a thread like this opens I look at it and tend to shake my head with the feeling that I've just seen it all. Seems as though the creative abilities of some just keep on coming out of the woodwork. Lots of effort there!

When you said skorpion I thought that quad turbo radical show vette of the 70's...it was sweet.
but this thing, aw geez....I normally defend customs and man o man I feel like I am shooting a man in wheel chair to start trashing this thing but...cue Will Smith voice and say "Damn".
To me That thing looks like a loaf of french bread or perhaps a shoe box with wheels but I cant find any angle that isnt bad, perhaps it's really stunning in person....

If anyone actually buys this thing they can say they bought it from
"UsedcarCharlie". Hilarious.

I've built 2 replicas many years back so I can appreciate the time and (for lack of a bette word) the thought that went into that.......but still I'm amazed and baffled at how they took a sleek / long looking C3 and made it look soooooo "squashed". I guess someone thought it looked good.

From: PHOENIX, AZ Yes, it's true. You are a good woman. Then again, you may be the Antichrist.
Looks to me like "Lightning McQueen" had a night of drunken debauchery with a slutty testarossa, and this is their devil-spawn child.
Too bad there's a reserve on it. I'd snap it up for the engine, part the rest, and send that body to the crusher. I wonder if they'll include the loose piece of steel tubing laying on the cowl?

By far, along with the C3, that had a truck grill and cattle horns, this has to be one of the fugliest C3's, I've ever seen. If it's preserved, it's only as an outstanding testament to bad taste. I wouldn't be caught dead, driving this thing in public. Hard to even call it a Corvette.

Hi,
Here's some work from the Hendrick shop.
Difficult to believe the same person, ("gut"), was involved in these 2 cars in ANY way!
Regards,
Alan
