Well, given that his other auction is described as "Like Brand New", it may be time for him to see the eye doctor for a new pair of glasses.

Hi,
If you wanted a project I think you'd be better off starting with a Barbie & Ken Corvette; than that!
It looks like after it's collision all the parts worth anything were removed and the rest was left to rot.
Regards,
Alan

Makes me feel much better about my project

Even though he did not represent it this way: In all fairness, for $2,000 buy it now, if it has a frame and a clear title, it may be a useable parts vehicle for someone.

It needs a front clip, and really the rear taillight panel could be replaced. then you guys would be crawling all over it for the money.

Of course, he doesn't show the driver's side rear quarter, so you wonder what condition it is in.

Buy it for 2K, invest another 25K, and you'll have a car worth 15K.


Just about normal.....

oh come on guys... pick up the hammer, and relive some frustration on this piece of trash.... over the vettes we have all built. 2k is a little steep for relaxation, but it's probably cheaper than a shrink!

Over 900 items sold and he has a 100% positive rating. He must be doing something right (or he's found a niche in the "sucker born every minute" market).
