I don't know if it's the ugliest one I've ever seen, but it's right up there.

By far not the ugliest I've seen. Different for sure, but it really reminds me of one a friend of mine owned, except the paint.

my favorite quote:
"YOU WILL NEVER FIND ANOTHER VETTE LIKE THIS!"

I remember when I was a kid seeing guys at the autorama doing big flairs etc., then seeing the mako shark. (was way cool for the time). Unfortunately this isn't the best example I've seen from the era.

If somebody at the bar shows you a picture of Rosie O'Donnell, and you say, "I'd hit it", you're getting close.

When I was a younger version of my current self, I saw this movie called "CORVETTE SUMMER" and in it was the BADEST Corvette that I had EVER SEEN!

Fast Forward in TIME.................................... ..............................

As an older version of said self, avid corvette owner/operator, I looked up that car and when I saw the pictures of what I THOUGHT was AWESOME, was almost Unbearable to look at!

My how views change with time!.............Unaltered Vette's of ANY generation are timeless classics! IMHO
