13 of the Ugliest Corvettes You've Ever Seen

It is hard to imagine any Corvette model being less than awesome in the looks department. The Corvette is known for its sleek, aerodynamic body, its low profile, and its fat tires. Interestingly, the biggest cosmetic debate recently was over the C7 taillights. But that misstep was nothing compared to some of the custom mods found via a quick lap around Google. Here's some of the worst.

1. Getting Plowed

In 2014, the new Corvette C7 cast away its heritage round lights for more Camaro-esque squared off units. Forum enthusiasts went nuts and threatened to never buy a Corvette again. You can only imagine how those purist would feel about how some people can take one of the world’s best looking automobiles and turn it into something will cause you to scratch your head – if not shout some choice obscenities. Who in their right mind wants to plow snow in a convertible?!?! Who in their right mind does this to a C2 Corvette?!?!?!

2. Mutant Gator Vette

You can almost excuse the excesses of this Corvette considering it was in a low budget sci-fi movie called Death Race 2000. But the excesses of the big fake blown motor, the teeth, and the ridge along the back is just too, too much. Get rid of those and you have a pretty cool cut down windshield 1970s Vette speedster, with a crazy paint job.

3. Don't Worry Be Happy

I’m sorry but this smile just makes me frown. Smiley faces were fine on lunch bags in the 70s, but on a Corvette? Come on. What if your girlfriend leaves you? Do you add a few tears?

4. Corvette Catering Service

Fender flares and hood vents aren’t the worst modifications you can make, but in the case of this little red Corvette (aw, Prince!), finale of the body kitlooks like someone stuck a serving tray on the back. Hor d’oeuvres, anyone?

5. Earl Scheib Will Paint Any Car

Really? Even an Earl Scheib trainee on his first day wouldn't do something this wretched.

6. The Disney Corvette

Was this Corvette owner hoping to get this gem in “Cars, the live action movie”?

7. Vette Down Under

Steve Irwin, the Crocodile Hunter, may be the only one caught dead driving this crock-inspired Vette. Oh wait, he’s no longer with us. Too bad this car still is.

8. Pizzaman Dan's Corvette

So Pizzaman Dan painted his Corvette to promote his pizza business. I’m sure the pizza is great, but the paint job is leaving me a bit queasy, and I used to love pepperoni.

9. Moulting Vette

I don’t know about you, but this Vette looks like it’s shedding its skin. That may be fine for a snake, but for a Corvette? Maybe this owner should have applied some sunscreen.

10. Satellite Vette

This Corvette (well, parts of it are a Corvette) looks like the bastard child of three different cars. About the only thing it has going for it are those taillights – and perhaps the fact that it can probably pick up radio waves from the Messier 81 galaxy.

11. Coupe de Vette

If you crossed a Corvette with a Cadillac Eldorado circa 1977, it might look something like this. Not a good idea in any era.

12. How to Teach your Dragon... to Drive

Somebody actually thought it would be a good idea to add a dragon to the hood and spray paint strange stripes across this Corvette. Oh, to be a dragon slayer. Seven years ago this car was all over the internet and judged to be the ugliest Corvette ever. Now it is only in the top ten.

12. The Corvette Sportwagon

Since the demise of the Corvette trunk, easily accessible cargo areas were definitely on the wish list of many enthusiasts. But the original design of the Corvette Sportwagon in 1968 left a few things to be desired: Like a nice looking car, for instance. We found the only picture of one you might enjoy looking at.
