Normally, I would be leery of a car that "FLIP[s] ON ITS ROOF." On the other hand, it only has 109 miles and "ALL RADIATION IS GOOD." Was the base '77 equipped with a gamma radiation emitter, or was that an option?

Personally I think if you could get it for $2500 it'd be worth it....use the interior to restore yours(the interior looks great), then part out the rest....

You could defanitly make about $2000(assuming the frame and most of the chassis parts are good)...which means you'd spend about $500 on a perfect interior...I think thats cheaper then al knoch

Zaino is a multi-step car polishing system that many swear will make any car look brand new. My reference to Zaino was a joke that Zaino could make even this car look "new".

Notice how it says "used" ? When a 'Vette with a rebuilt engine with a 107 miles(!) 'flips', I'd rather say ABused.

In this regard, brakes that don't work could be considered "anit-lock.":)
