Default A beauty found in Vegas.

I was cruising down the Boulder Highway in Las Vegas and found this beauty for sale. They wanted $26,000 because it was a rare "one of a kind" My son thought they painted the Bat mobile yellow.
If I only had the money..... :lol:

It sure is "one-of-a-kind"...but so is a turd.

Hey...those Vegas types with the "bling-bling" need cars too!

I like it except for the back portion of the car. $26K is way to much. :seeya

Sorry guys, but I think that is one POS. And if you took offense to that, here is one more for ya. I really like the 65 Mustang that is in front of it.

Don't get me wrong. I am a Corvette man from way back, but I would rather have the original 65 Mustang than that MODIFIED Car (it doesn't deserve to be called a Vette).

Ahh, yes...the '65 Mustang Fastback 2+2...one of the few cars I turn my head to look at while out driving. If I have enough ambition (and $$$), I'd like to build a Shelby clone someday...

Well Danny, it's not a 2+2, but this 65 is my kids Mustang. I picked it up for $700 after it got flooded, ( I mean like rain water flooded). We have since reconditioned it to the tune of $2400, but it will do for him. He's 19. What 19 year old wouldn't want it.


Oh and Danny:lol: :lol:, that just kills me (the Danny Ocean thing). Is that your real name.

No offense mind you, but isn't that the same name as the lead charactor in the movie Oceans Eleven :lol: :lol: :lol:

Which Oceans Eleven? I've been a Frank Sinatra fan for years (while other kids my age were banging their heads to the hair bands). I adopted the "nom-de-plume" from Frank's character in the original movie. After 15 years as a private investigator, I've learned when/where NOT to use your real name...and the Internet is one of them.

I've seen both versions. I saw the recent one (2001 maybe) with George Clooney first, thought it was great. Kind of the same plot, different ending than the first version with Ole' Blue Eyes. Both were great movies

Are you sure that is not some kit car with a VW engine under it?

Put a set of horns on the hood.... dice hanging from the rear view mirror... some felt just about everywhere... and have it bounce & it should be shipped to Mexico where it should fit in.

I gotta agree... the *Tang* looks lots better.... for a tang.

Take it to the car crusher immediately! I don't get it, do they really think that they can improve on the looks of a stock bodied C-3? That car is disgusting, my dog and I would have to wear bags over our heads to drive that thing! I would not want my dog to be embarassed if his bag fell off.

To each their own. "Corvette Summer" inspired? Somebody had nothing better to do with their money (probably won AND lost at a casino, that's probably why they are selling it for that amount) :lol: :flag
