What do you think of this car? The guy wants 30000 for the car. I can't see it bringing anywhere near that

I know he did ... what a waste.

A Corvette is a Corvette man ... either dig it or don't!

He doesn't have a prayer with an asking price of 30g's. I wouldn't give him 30 cents for it.

Just caught this:

ABS, AC, Air Bags, Alloy Wheels, AM/FM Stereo, Automatic Trans, Cassette, Cruise Control, Power Brakes, Power Locks, Power Seats, Power Steering, Power Windows, Removable Roof Panel, Standard Trans, Tilt /Telescopic
It really does have all the options!

It's probably a typo and he meant $3,000

Either that or he is smoking some good stuff

Several years ago, I met a lady who described her car as "a (Ford) Probe with a Testeraso kit on it". I asked what it looked like and she responded "Like a Testerosa"

Whomever did that needs to be shot. Several times. Then left to die. A slow miserable death.

$30,000.00 for that abortion? God.

He would have a tough time getting that price even in 1984 with 0 miles!

Sorry guys but I sort of like it, for a body kit.

Now if it had a Z-51 suspension, a retro 6-speed and a stroked 350 under the hood...maybe. I mean if you gonna look the look, you better be able to walk the walk, right.

Um, no... If this is the look you're referring to,

then he's way off.

His car is more along the lines of

in which case an inline-4 with a huge bee-hive fart-can muffler would be more appropriate. It's about as similar to a Chevy 350 as a 350 is to a rear-engined Ferrari flat 12....
