Default Vetteper? Huh?

Another example of the craziness that can be found on Craigslist:

Seriously, what is this guy thinking? An '84 with different bumpers and paint? $75K spent? Appraised for 60K? And with ghetto-crap rims to top it off? "I'll let it go for $40K...Serious buyers only" Yeah, seriously retarded in the head buyers, haha! I think he meant $7.5K spent and worth $600! What universe is he living in? LOL!

might mean he has the srt-10 motor in it. Either way I'd rather have a Viper for 40k (which you can get a nice one for that), over a modified C-4 with a viper motor.

75k invested in customization. Appraised for 60k will let go for 40k OBO or possible trades.
In other words..."I spent several years in a drunken, drug induced stupor and this is the result. My bank records indicate I spent around $100K at various automotive parts places, so I figure $75K of it went to this monstrosity. One of my drunk friends told me it should be worth at least $60K. Please help me recover at least SOME of my money..."

probably a joke again, not even a viper body kit, and I have seen a few of those on 84's contemplated buying one once.
