Anyone have an idea as to how much it might bring?
I'll bet you could make a bunch of money just charging people for a ride in that beast!

That beauty is going to sell high. This is one-of-one, and I bet Corvette collectors want this monster in their museum(s).

I love that car, I would love to own it, but does anyone else notice that the hood paint doesn't match? I'll I could afford that car, I would think I could aford to fix things right.
I still would own it and grin all week about it.

Wow, the KING of the C4's. I bet it brings over $1million. If I had it, which there are plenty people out there that do, I would give that and maybe a little more for it.
