He's trying to get $4500! How could anyone do this to a Corvette?

I couldn't do that to any car. Funny thing, that little wing on the hood is the 2d one I've seen. First was on a former co-workers coupe, I think it was an 84 or 85 when she was trying to sell it. That was enough of a turnoff to not even consider it.

Just needs a new hood. It's not the half plane half C4 abomination that is like 30 min from my house.

The only thing strange is the wheels. All else are normal common bolt on parts.

That car's been for sale for probably over a year now, I see it whenever i'm on craigslist browsing, pretty sure he wanted 7k for it and has been dropping the price since.

That's the "Corvette Canard" which is meant to lift the hood off the car when one drives it over 100 mph!

Ok... and the tail light louvers have to come off.

Rear Spoiler is fine, I have one like it waiting to on mine. The side paneling added to the doors I dunno. I'd need to see it full on side profile view, they could go too from what I see so far.

By far the worst offender is the hood..and that's an easy fix, same with the wheels..which STILL look better than the crap that came on our C4s (aside from A molds, or Dymags on Callaways)

Looks like someone crashed into the accessories aisle at Pep Boys.
