It does look like a C5 steering wheel but it's actually an early C6 wheel before they changed over to the 3 spoke.

If sales are struggling on new vettes this is sure to kill the car. Their focus groups at chevy must have been smoking something if they think this car looks good.

Even the ad is confused it says its a 2004? seems fishy to me!

"2011 Corvette Concept Coupe 2004 Corvette Chassis Drivetrain with Stingray Body"

"You are bidding on a complete 2004 Corvette Chassis, Drivetrain, Dash, Interior, doors, seats etc.and then rebodied with a replica of the recent Corvette Concept Car shown at Car Shows. Essentially the original front and rear corvette body clips were lifted off and the new clips put in place. Virtually every corvette part underneath is still original GM Chevy Corvette.

I bought the car completely done about a year ago. It has an LS2 motor and automatic tranny. Heads up display, custom wheels and several Stingray badges. The donor car is in good condition but not a show car. The hood lifts forward using a motor. I bought it to include in my collection but haven't had any time for it so its time to let her go.

The car was built and titled in Idaho in 2011. I had to put the year down as 1980 because the Idaho VIN is not 17 characters long and ebays automatic system won't take 1981 or newer without 17 characters.

Please email or call with any questions. Come and test her out if you like."
and fo 5k miles that engin bay looks like crap!

Absolutely horrible in the worst home-built kit car tradition!

Doubtful anyone would do that something like that to a functioning 2005 C6 in decent shape. It was probably built from a salvage car.

It looks like a first attempt at a Ferrarri Enzo (another butt-ugly car). Thank the Powers that Be it's a one off.

That is one UGLY car. I would not give it the satisfaction of calling it a Corvette. Next time someone calls my Edsel ugly I'll show them a picture of this atrocity !!

The current bid is up to 22K now. Maybe I will go on there and put in a bid of 185K just for fun.

Under the photos at the top of the eBay page there is a link that says "Sell one like this".

God help us.

Default C5 one off

What's the saying... "just because you can doesn't mean you should!" Not a good design in my eyes.
