At first when I looked at it I thought they had posted pics of the wrong car. Then I saw the fenders of a corvette and said :eek: . I know how much I would pay for it, however much it costs to have the trash man to get rid of it. Bye Bye to that car :seeya

i just don't get it. it's like putting ground effects and a wing on a rolls royce. just doesn't make sense.
you want a land barge, buy a damn land barge. why would people buy something so unique as a vette and then make it look like a cookie cutter eldorado?

Why? Obviously this person bought the wrong car? Another scary question: Is somebody out there making these kits? It looks like a preemptive strike is in order. finally all that gaudy body work and the interior is stock. :lol:

Draws a crowd at any show.
Okay, crackhead, I think we need to make a distinction here between "crowd" and "angry mob." :lol:

"Low mileage" Could that be because they were embarrassed to be seen driving it? "From the movie Live and Let Die"-I've seen that a few times, but don't recall seeing that in there. Or maybe I did but was lucky enough to erase it from memory. Kind of like going into shock.
