Badly grafted C5 body parts and cues onto a C4. L98 console badge on what's clearly an LT1 in the engine bay. This one was share worthy.

*edit* Link fixed.

Actually, not terrible looking, just leaves you with this weird "Huh?" feeling. The broken C5 logo on the waterfall is just the right touch.

It would look better in Black.

Mostly to hide all the weird body lines.

He did A LOT of work on that C4 to be selling it for $5500. But, even at that price I wouldn't buy it.

She sells a ton of Corvette parts on our local Facebook group. She is extremely high on prices won't negotiate.

I've seen some wildly tasteless things on C4's :{ Truly the redheaded step child of the line.

It's actually a kit. It looks awkward because of the wheelbase, among other things....

Looks suspiciously familiar. I ran into this one at a local car show in Georgia several years ago. The interior was even more shocking and panel fit was poor.
