Saw that car at a car show in NJ a couple of years back. They also had a few Barbie electric kid Corvettes parked next to it. It is a very clean car.

Maybe it used to belong to Angelyne?



She used to upgrade her Corvettes every few years. The latest one I've seen is a C6.

I don't think it's bad at all. I would love to be able to afford it for my wife. She's a breast cancer survivor and it would go over well with her support group . Anyone know what year wheels are on it?

Yes this car looks like it's in very good condition and had a fair bit of money spent on it.
The thing is the paint is supposed to be perfect and it would probably cost as much as the car is worth to change the colour anyway.

If not for all the bolt on crap, it would be a perfectly fine Mary Kay car. The wing and the lowers are more embarrassing than the color choice.

no flames my friend, but I can tell you, my wife is definitely not into that cutesy thing. i'm thinking, instead of being cool, she would be more embarrassed. if I parked that thing in my driveway, and told my wife it was for her, I guarantee you she would say, "what, are you a phuckin' idiot? i ain't driving that thing...."

the original ad says,
It's been sitting in my garage on a lift with a cover over it for more than two years now...
there's a reason, this thing's been sitting and his wife won't drive it.

I showed my wife and she said sh*t, we just had to replace the central air, otherwise she would have bid on it. Surprised me that we could try and get another Vette.

This exactly! I have no problem with modded cars as long as it's not overdone and done right. This one checks both boxes and any girl hot rodder would probably be proud to roll in that. There are girl jalops too!
