I don't think I will ever understand turning it into something else other than a vette.

Take pity on the poor thing as it was in a miner accident. I wonder if that was in W Virginia?

bid to $11000 (met reserve) ...as p.t.barnum said, "there's a sucker born every minute." and w.c.fields said, "...and it's a shame not to take advantage of him."

F1355 ferrari wide body kit? I've never heard of a 1355. Love the lingo too, "it got full borla exchust on it and it got k&N air filters and got preformance air mass sencers." Looks like Rice, sounds like Rice, I wonder if it taste like rice. Sure is a damn shame.

Ah yes, the ever popular Corvette Panel Truck - must have been the inspiration for the Dodge Magnum Station Wagon!

does anyone have an idea of how much $$$ it would take to bring this one back to life? there isn't enough good stuff left on this one to justify parting it out. the only thing i can figure is someone wants a title/vin.

How can anyone justify dumping $20k into a salvage title, unless it was to build a super track car?
