I kinda like it and I'm not into modding a Vette. If I was selling that car, I'd take it to car shows with a for sale sign. Winning a trophy or two wouldn't hurt your ability to sell it. Car shows are where some pretty extreme folks show up.
IMHO, if those are wagon wheels, I'd find some other wheels to put on, but I'd keep the polished/chrome look, not painted wheels. Good luck with the sale.

Honestly if I were you I would invest $3-4k (which is what a really really good paint job should cost no more than) and paint it back to the stock white you will get TONS more interest because aside from the ridiculous paint it seems like a decent car...otherwise it's worth not much more than $10k IMO depending on the miles?? If they really did pay $39k for that paint job I'm not sure how that's possible or what they were thinking but to each his own...

In Florida $4k will get you a really good/better than factory paint job so I would say up North or out west a decent one can be done for that...just FYI in 2010 I paid $1500 for a perfect factory Black paint job with less Orange peel/better shine than stock on my 94' Coupe, yeah it was done by a painter who worked by himself out of a garage on his property but like anything it's all a matter of shopping around. Also MAACO will do it a lot cheaper than $4k and since he's selling it let the next guy worry about it peeling off in a few years
When I painted my 69' RED, single stage, the paint alone, sealer, high build primer was over $1000 alone and that was 10 years ago. Get a tri coat like the yellow vettes and add clear bet the material could get up to $2K.

This car I saw on ebay months ago, I have to say it is one of the most retched looking C5's in the country. For 100k build I hope it came with 80k cash in the glovebox
