This part of his description cracks me up.

NOTE: this is not a NEW 2014 VIPER it is a VIPER GTS REPLICA built on a 1984 Corvette that needs some repairs.

So, it's a '84 TPI Vetper? I guess?

I just don't understand how you can put so much time and effort into a project and have it deteriorate so much and be in such bad shape. What a bizarre car.

Not much into kits, but that doesn't look to bad in the pictures. I suspect it's worse in person.

The only thing more bizarre is that 15 people have bid on this POS.

A Vipette? That's a novel concept...and kind of confused. That's putting it mildly.

Even though it obviously makes James Van der Beek puke, it seriously peaks my interest. I want to know why someone would put so much time, money, effort in a body kit and slap it on a worn out donor? I actually like some of the fiero based kit cars and have always wanted one of the fake Ferrari 308 fieros or even a real deal Mera but most I have seen used low mileage donors with good interiors and working accessories, not a worn out '84 with mismatched engine components. I wouldn't even buy an '84 that had tpi on it because you never know what weird things bubba did when he removed the crossfire.
