Well, I guess we know what the spawn of a C3 and Prowler would look like. Sometimes beautiful things create ugly offspring. :U

Yeah, but he spent over 200K on that POS. Good Lord!
It's crap like that that gives our C3's a bad name.

Re: WHAT DID THEY DO TO THIS VETTE! (Micky T)
He supposedly spent $244,000 and is asking a measly $25,000 for the car (based on his comment of reserve being slightly more that 10 cents on the dollar). I think he'll be lucky to get that much. All that engine, and he has 3 miles on the car from driving it off the trailer into the show. :rolleyes: Cars are built to drive. Don't put an engine in it if your just going to show that car. What's the point of the engine? Or am I being asanine?

That same car was up for auction not too long ago. I guess he didn't get what he was asking for the first time so he thought he'd try again.
The bottomline is that although the car is ugly, it appears as though it will FLY! That big block should propel that thing quite nicely down the road plus it looks like it will handle very well. It does look kinda fugly though.

What a waste of money... At least some body shop guy got to send his kid to college on the price they charged the owner... That should account for about $10,000... now, where did the other $234k go? Perhaps there's some hotrod museum out there trying to get a start that could use something like that...

Even though this car isn't exactly designed as a visual appeal, who ever did the work is very good and could work on my car anyday, as long as he follows the stock lines ;) .
