Default Amusing Diecast on Ebay

I found this amusing, thought others who have spent a lot of time and money on resturation of there C3s might see humor in it also. :D

:lol: Gotta admit it took some imagination. But I probably would think it was funny, my car was found under a tree in someone's back yard.

At the last Corvette Expo in Knoxville there was a guy there that made these style setups. He had all kinds of cars. Couple of GTOs, Camaros and Mustangs. All pretty neat I thought.

It'd be funny getting teeny tiny little packages from UPS a couple times a week while you restored it :lol:

That is cool. :lol:

The only problem with realism is the "For Sale" sign. It shouldn't have one because the owner is going to restore it someday... :rolleyes:

The only difference between this one and the real ones left on the side of a barn to rot away is.....THIS ONES FOR SALE. Any real ones I have found are never for sale. "I'm going to restore it some day" is all I ever get. Yea right.

Looks like another $20K restoration job to me.

I miss-judged my first one, the wife would kill me if I made that mistake again. :smash: Heck, I think I would kill myself if I did that again. :lol: :lol:
