Failed Craigslist finds.
 

I think this may be a fun thread to start. I'm a member on another forum that started a thread like this and it just took off. You would be able to share some of the really funny and strange stuff out there in the Corvette world. I will kick things off with the following Item .
http://newjersey.craigslist.org/pts/4101499692.html

Can you say "Scoop-A-Holic? I've never seen one hood, that had so many different styles of scoops in my life. You've got Cowl Induction Scoops, NACA scoops, reverse-scoops and louver Scoops.

The only scoop I don't see, is an Ice Cream Scoop! Can you imagine trying to look around that thing while driving?

:ack:

Hey! it was hand made by a Ferrari employee. :D

And what was he smoking? :leaving: It must've been good stuff!

Must of been a fan of the movie, Corvette summer.

Bottom line, $1500.
:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

No need to look around it... just look through it :D

:rofl: That thing was horrible!

http://allentown.craigslist.org/cto/4092198102.html

:lurk:

The hood looks like a speed boat from the top.
The guy with the c4- yea, don't try to haggle with him.

:rofl::rofl::rofl:
No kidding! That hood scoop has to ride up at least 2/3 of the way up the windshield on a C3! You can always mount a backup type camera on the front corner of the hood and have a tv screen inside of the scoop too. That would work! That way, you'd know if you ingested something you shouldn't have...

I think I saw something like it on Captain Nemo's sub. :thumbs:

Add says Needs a little work........then Needs a motor.:crazy2:

So I imagine that hood was on top of a blown turbo engine at some point. (Height and position of the right front vent)
All that venting would have been used to prevent lift at high speed. (Very unsafe for you guys with the dry rotting 15's)

I do not suppose something that tall and clean was built by Bubba to cover a 68 numbers matching NHRA 300HP small block with a stock air cleaner...

Just curious what you guys use to cover your 3 foot tall big dollar engine on your 180 MPH drag car that is so much better? You prefer a hole in your hood?

What would you charge for a 600+ dollar hood you then put 20+ hours into building?

Looks like a lot of effort and functional to me.. :thumbs:

Sorry, I have to disagree, I've never seen nuthin' like that at any drag race I've ever been to! Not at the Winternationals, not at the March Meet, not at OCIR back in the day on the vintage gassers, never! Most of the guys are running, just that, holes in the hood (cause' who wants to hide an 8-71 Blower? Flaunt it, if ya got it!) or they're going the pro-stock look, like this one, I snapped at the March Meet this year in Bakersfield.

The one pictured, is just plain bizarre and is more 'Corvette Summer' than anything else. PS: Note the many dzus fasteners on the drag car below, that go all the way around, versus the two rear pin style fasteners on the rear of the custom hood.

Now that's what I'm talking about! Yeah, Baby!!! Just getting them, got me all hot and bothered.

1989 CHEVY CORVETTE- $$$? RUNS EXCELLENT

http://images.craigslist.org/01313_7...dT_600x450.jpg

Yeah runs excellent, only problem is if you drive too fast the body parts start falling off. Nice.:thumbs:

You'll love this one, but gotta give the seller credit for trying!

The Batmobile is finally for sale!

Just in time for Halloween..:thumbs:

I don't get it.

I think the seller is Grizley Adams.

:leaving:He's looking for this car:leaving:

http://springfield.craigslist.org/cto/4019692065.html

Those ads make me wish public floggings hadn't been discontinued.

I don't think you'd end up disappearing if you showed up to buy a car from Grizzly Adams and he didn't like you:willy:

This one has been for sale around here forever.

How about a 2 tone - down the middle.

http://orlando.craigslist.org/cto/4104533267.html

http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/f...psd3722fdc.jpg

Seriously,,,, I'd like to see the rest of the car. Peace,,, moosie :seeya

I can see why. And forever is a long time. Another C-3 that will probably in the end get parted out since only the current owner likes the modifications. It happens to so many cars, not just Vettes. Imports are a good example. You get a guy who puts together for instance, a 240sx. Spends a ton of money on the the engine and drive train. Then puts a ridiculous body kit on it that is blended on and then tries forever to sell it afterwards usually for a crazy amount. So sad to see it happen to a vette though.

Yup...runs like a champ!!!

The interior? Oh. That. Well...see...the roof shattered about 10 years ago. It was never DRIVEN in the rain, though...

keep um comin' :thumbs:

:iagree::rofl::rofl:

This one is one of our own (forum member).

Terry

Love it! Outrageous, but not overdone either. I think it takes real talent to not only customize a car, but have it like nothing you've seen before and yet, unify it all in a cohesive package, that has your eyeballs wandering all over it.

An excellent example of this is, Roy (Ray?), Trepannier. Going from memory here, but he's had some incredibly executed customs, that also have 'bad ass' written all over them. He just had a 50's Buick in Hot Rod magazine, that you could spend a lot of time looking at.

PS: For all you Socal guys, the Gene Winfield event is just a couple o' weeks away. The lot itself, is an adventure by itself, just wandering around, much less what and who shows up, like George Barris.

30,000 don't buy what it used to.especially here on LI. http://longisland.craigslist.org/cto/4097286938.html

Wow, totally worth it (not!). Take a zero off the price and you're there. Look at the narrow aisle they had between the engine stand and the car? Twenty years of 'just squeezin through, with laundry and groceries, not to mention the disassembled interior!

Showed my shop partner and he asked if the windows were down and yep, they are, so it's just as dirty inside as out.

I think the owner is confused. I think he meant that it has 30,000 original miles and the price is 645.30. In that case it sounds like a deal. I'm there. :thumbs::thumbs:

Not Corvette, but this one is special.

http://greenville.craigslist.org/cto/4075437851.html

Not a bad job for a dog.

I like the dog better than the car which looks like it was stolen from an amusement park kiddie ride.

:iagree: Peace,,, moosie :seeya

It may have been a "race car," but I highly doubt it was competitive. That thing is ugly :willy: But it does have "Ford wiring." That's got to be worth something.

http://mobile.craigslist.org/ctd/4084941103.html not a corvette, but it does have a "Corvette" dash in it...... so he says

Hmmm... http://kansascity.craigslist.org/cto/4103206378.html

Not a Corvette but thinking I would NOT want to polish all that chrome, but hey "pitchers speak for them self "

http://forums.corvetteforum.com/memb...der-154951.jpg

The Peterbuilt probably has the vette in the dash.:crazy2:

The low rider is cool if you like that sort a thing. I haven't seen to many painted just one solid color though.

The 79 vette. Wow. The owner must of been on a three day crack binge. Another C-3 out for the count.:sadangel:

That'd be supernice car if it had a normal ride height then it'd be right up my alley.

Old truckers never die, they just get a new Peterbilt.

I'll play.

http://okaloosa.craigslist.org/cto/4088846284.html

http://mobile.craigslist.org/cto/4098494797.html

hey!!! I was going to go look at that 79 vette..... now I cant :(

We may have a winner!

>Hmmm... http://kansascity.craigslist.org/cto/4103206378.html

If it had a VW engine the kit car guys would be all over it.

So sad, it's kind of hard to look at some of these.

:iagree: You always will see cars butchered up in many countless of ways. But i must say, Even though I just bought my first Vette it has always bothered me to see a Corvette treated that way. Major Fail!

I guarantee it has Rack and Peanut Steering and a horn that plays La Cucaracha!

Might be worth it, but not for me,

http://harrisburg.craigslist.org/cto/4037673655.html

Ok, this thing is just plain scary. Looks like a trial and error bodywork test subject.

My eyes!

Seriously, though...Would someone in search of a six-figure car really be looking for it on Craigslist?!? :lol:

>Keep the kids away from the paint job...

There's a special place in hell for people who do that to a Corvette.

Smoke definitely wouldn't. I've picked him for every race since he came into NASCAR. Hope he heals up fast. It's odd not to be rooting for him.

Amen, brother. :cheers:

Definitely not as much fun without him in the field each weekend.

Not on craigslist, but still sad :crazy:

Not sure which one would be more embarrassing to drive, the Star Wars fantasy Corvette, with half naked Princess Leia or the one below!

:ack::ack::ack:

Would somebody please lance that thing!!!!

i agree but don't throw it back i hear the wings are good eating.

nyuk!

As bad as the car is, I love that they couldn't even be motivated enough to move the Monster Energy can before snapping the pics. :lol:

Its Funny to think that someone out here thinks this car looks cool. How much are they asking?
This and the star wars vette would have been cool back in the seventies, But not now.

I bet if you smoke a doob it starts looking like a storm trooper helmet. Anybody from Colorado willing to give it a try and report back?

I think this car was done by Chuck Barris. It was appraised at $150,000 and they are asking $125,000. :yesnod:

(lol, just kidding)

I bet you if Chuck Barris did do this car you wouldnt be mocking the way it looks. :thumbs:


70's or not, this is probably just awesome in someones eyes.

Personally, I find most (certainly not all) of his stuff hideous.

George Barris is The Man. But A lot of his stuff was just as ugly. I like a lot of his cars. And not just the ones that everybody knows. For example there"s the Hirohata Merc. Still one of the most beautiful early fifties customs ever built.:cool:http://i959.photobucket.com/albums/a...-restored5.jpg

That was "cool" back in the 70s???? DAMN! I must have been lost in a fog for longer than I thought! :rofl:

I think you are talking about George Barris Chuck Barris did the Gong Show. :thumbs:

Dang You are correct. My major league bad. :thumbs: Always been a huge fan how can I make that mistake. The 1980s really took its toll on me I guess.:D

This car is cool!

3500.00 with no title?
 

http://poconos.craigslist.org/pts/4058021237.html
I actually went and saw this car. its a complete mess and only good for parts. Cryin' shame. I made him an offer on the the car but he wasn't havin' it. I even offered him a decent amount for the mirror tops but he did not want to part the car, And also said the tops are worth 1500.00.:eek::eek: What do you guys think its worth? Some people thing they have gold.

2 Greenpeace guys just threw it back in the ocean. We're SAVED!!

Around here we buy and sell cars on KSL.com. This one has been for sale for about a year, and I expect it to still be for sale at this time next year.

http://www.ksl.com/auto/listing/715434?ad_cid=5

$45,000.00 and it's all yours....

What about this one?http://allentown.craigslist.org/ctd/4154140843.html
!3500.00 and she is all yours.

That thing is on eBay and has several bidders.

I remember this one from the late 70s. The Bunghole who painted it Rusty Fecek used to cruise the Shopping Center in Uniontown Pa. every now and then when it wasn't doing the Car Show circut. Rusty would spend Hours tootin His Horn about how talented He is to anyone who was dumb enuf to listen. This is about the only thing that the King of bullsh*t ever did that I saw , and the artwork was quite impressive. I didn't think that this Car still existed , haven't seen it in about 34 years. :D

People are amazing, if he gets a grand for those wheels then I need him to sell parts for me! :crazy2:

Doesn't look terrible. But what makes him think it is worth 45k? We haven't even seen pictures of the interior.

I found this comment to be humorous....

"It was NOT in an accident. Left rear tire came off while moving it and tore the fiberglass."

Now I don't know about you, but if the tire falls off while you are driving I call that an accident. But look on the bright side, he is only asking $2900.

Hmmmm.....
it needs a new intearial.....:lol:

Thats a cryin' shame. :sadangel:

No accident? so you mean it looks like that on purpose! How does a car end up looking like this/ :ack:

AND it formed a vacuum that sucked the interior right out....:D

Made me laugh.

And I'm very sorry to say, though it's a '71, that car is NOT worth $2,900.

Agreed. Depending on what the engine bay looks like, maybe a $1000.

The engine bay was by far the best part of the car.

I can't see anything in there that I want. :D

the corvette dash being referred to is the shape of the dash in a 359 pete. similiar in shape and design to a c 1 type dash. looks very sharp in an old petercar. while it is a big truck , the cab itself is small,( i could reach over easier in my pete to roll the passenger side window down than in my car).
and being an ex o/o , i have to give credit where credit is due. that is a very sharp road tractor! back in the day we called that a chicken truck! gotta love that" 3406 b model 4 and a quarter cat with a 9 speed double over up against the daSH!" yeah ...BABY!!!! I almost wish i were driving down the big road again!

These are the type of cars and match the people often seen at where else

" Walmart Cars"


Wierd stuff .....low life selling stolen chit


I don't advertise or buy from these lists , it's a good way to get robbed.
