Arrest him, in the name of Vette. Soory, but i´d rather buy a Bat Mobile for that kind of money.

The "exhaust" ports on the sides are probably "breakout thrusters"......

"Kill the right bank, Jimmers. We´re parked on the left side if you hadn´t noticed, we have to get out of here...... It´s a darn shame to use the wheel for that"......

Not the kind of vette that interests me but I bet there is a whole group of car nuts that find this attractive. I wouldn't be surprised that he gets what he's looking for or close. Would like nto have the $ he put into it.

I have actually seen this car in person...even though it is not necessarily my "cup of tea", it is a very well done piece of work. It drew a crowd all day long.

If I had that kind of money floating around it wouldn't go for any C4, but a new ZR1 would be kinda nice... How can anyone like that car , it has a WING... WW

Have any more pictures?

I know a bunch of vette tards will jump up and down praising their bone stock '86 coupe and poking fun at anything unoriginal, but from what I could see of the redesigned hatch and roof halo I like. I'd like to see more shots if possible.

WTF would you do with it is the problem. A showcar is cool if that's your cup of tea but buying an already done showcar that's been shown everywhere already seems a little odd. There's alot of money in that car though that's for certain.

I just want to know how he got the blower drive to fit.

Then again, that particular engine probably won't see any boost.

The owner, in the picture - he is hispanic.



A lot of cars that are overdone in the manner this one is were done by hispanic owners.

How come you haven't told that to the other posters who have presented negative comments about the car. I am a cracker. Does that make you feel better? Geez. Get a life. **** it. Actually, the guys name is Jeff Leclere. I was wrong, I admit it. All the car needs is a chain steering wheel, some fuzzy dice, and a green card.
