Default Yours for only $125K.......

Have you guys and gals seen this vette before? I came across it on e-bay. The guy was $125K for it.... granted it is a one of a kind prototype that has been on 3+ magazine covers, but what do you guys think of it? Me, I am not sold.... for $125K...I could own a few different vettes, a new color one for every day of the week!

This isn't my vette, I came across it on ebay the other day. But as for the headlights.... It said that they are a one off that only 4 sets were made; one of witch is on this vette.....
But I do agree... if I was to go with this type of headlight... this would be my choice.

I don't like it but I love the orange color. Wish that was the color Chevy had used for the C6.

Its not exactly a "one of a kind" in my eyes. Its basically a kit that you can buy and change the styling of your C5.

Its called the "Concept C60" and has been around for several years.

You can buy it as such:

Restyling package: $3,995
Complete Set of all Concept C60 components, including the Concept C60 hood, front fenders and door skins.
Note: Prototype headlights are not available at this time.

http://www.c60vette.com/

The car has some features that are kind of cool but over all I dont care for it.

I like it, especially that 1956 look he has on the sides. But, too me, it's not worth $125K.

I like it. The C1 side styling is beautiful. Pricewise, I've seen much more for much less. Hell, there was a C1 at Carlisle with Magnesium wheels that had a cardboard placard on the hood that stated, "This car has sold for $180,000."
