How in the world does he think that car will bring 5K when you ca buy a unburned car for that much? Guess people in that area have more money than brains.

See what happens when you put C5 parts on a C4, it will try to self distruct.

"That will buff right out"

From the photos, it looks like someone forgot to change the fpr and fuel rail seals. Oh well.

A little wax and paint, it'll be good as new.

I've got news for that guy - there's no bringing that one back to life. I doubt if you could salvage $500 in parts. owner most likely didn't have insurance, and he's desperate to recoup some of his bad decision investment (to turn a C4 into a C5). he should take it to a scrap yard - might get 5-cents per pound.

We should save this link for those yahoos inhere inquiring about the C5 kits. Those 22"s could be sold in the Snoop Dog's forum.

That is a rare, or should I say "well done", prototype 1990 c5 test car. I'm on my way to the bank to get the money. I hope one of you guys doesn't try to buy this out form under me before I can get there. It will go great with the 1990 vert I am getting too.

That poor C4 was so humiliated having a C5 kit on AND ridiculous rims, that it must have decided it was better to end it.

There is just no accounting for some people's taste...
