He obviously "made it his own"..problem is I doubt there is anyone else out there who would want it to be their own.
That will be a hard car to sell.

Appears that someone tried to put it out of its misery, but that too failed miserably.

I like the clearly plastic stencil, spraypainted "CORVETTE" across the front of the hood, too!

How exactly does the engine get air? I thought my vette ran hot; I can't imagine that thing.


The orange carpet is really the icing on the cake; who would've ever thought to mount lights halfway down the hood like that?? ;-)

Are you responsible for those bullet holes? Or would you have obliterated it?

One person's "vision" is another's nightmare.

Lot's of time and effort, right down the crapper. Reminds me of my ex wife.
