Default Just when I think I have seen the ugliest Corvette ever

I get this email today and want to know if I want to buy this 8 tailed Corvette. I was shocked that someone would do this to a Corvette.

It can be yours for $4,500. I believe that was the price.

Crap like this REALLY gets my dander up. Do people just not realize, or not care what "Corvette" means? That it is as much artwork as car, as much a reflection of power, performance, of a certain way of thinking than anything else? Corvettes are a dream, and why someone would turn it iinto a nightmare like that is beyond me and incredibly offensive to me as well. UGH...Maybe Im just getting sentimental because of the 72, but really, Id slap someone for doing that to a dual chrome bumper, its sick.

It's people like this that drive up the value of our cars. I thank the man for putting more value in my car. As for this car, it is no longer a Vette.

It's not much different than someone totalling a C3 in an accident.

Hey guys, I don't think you realize that that is Racer X's Shooting Star! Now all you need is Speed Racer's Mach 5!

Looks like the headlight buckets are laying where the front grill should be.

They look like the recessed lights, not the popups.

How did the front fender get dented, did they flare it out with metal? Fiberglass won't dent like that it would crack. Any way it's fugly no mater what, but to each their own.

OH NO! Better hide those pics from TT... I think he's a fan of the wide bodies. If he ever got his hands on on something like this it would set him back another 5 years...

on the plus side, you could fit 325's in there without offset trailing arms...

Apparently the General had a thing for wide bodies too...



295's seem about right, I think 325's would hang out a bit...

Last time I saw that many taillights on a car I swore off martinis.
