Default “One-of-a-Kind” eBay Corvette Is Certainly That



Best case scenario is that there might be a few salvageable parts on this eBay find. But even then, you have to ask yourself: is it worth paying $17,000 to have to look at this thing and figure out what’s usable?

Read the rest on the Corvette Forum homepage. >>

Are there European jack wagons doing crap like this to Porsche's and Ferrari's? This is an embarrassment to Corvette and all respectable owner/enthusiasts. If I had the money I would buy this so I could crush it and put it out of it's misery.

Back when I was in school learning to be a Navy instructor I learned to compliment.

I do like the color.

I really don't like what they did to the car, but also I can't stop looking at it.

That pic brings to mind a question. With air being inducted under the nose and through the radiators while driving, where does the air escape on a C4? I notice high performance sports cars usually have large air ducts in the hood to allow air to flow through. Even though the vette in the pic is ghastly, I wonder if his underhood temps are lower because of all the vents in the hood.

Of course. I forgot about those. They seem mostly decorative. Wonder if they should be bigger?

I've often thought 3 vents would be better and if there is a way to vent the wheel wells into them.

The hood/spoiler/doors look identical to this Vette. Is this some sort of body kit that's available somewhere?

I wonder if the owner knows the exact speed at which the Ferrari F40 wing takes effect?!?!?

I think you have irrefutable evidence there really is an alternate universe and I do not want to go there.

Most people cover the license plate number to avoid potential theft. This guy did it to avoid being found and punched in the face.

beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Someone really liked this car, put a bunch of money into it, and was proud of his work. I don't like this , but its not mine and I can look at the good work involved and be impressed. Still, I just don't like it.
