I am completely amused with the following in that ad:

"Fully restored, with new paint, a few minor repairs and so forth, the asking price of $180,000 would not be unreasonable."

Makes you wonder about E-bay. As if it was not already a questionable farse at times.

You know you get a little older, been around a little and you think you've seen it all, well apparently not.... a gold plated oil pan and valve covers :eek:

I could go on and on about this car but the thing that bugs me the most is why people can't f%cking dry the piece of poopie before taking the pictures. Is drying a car really that hard?! I see so many of these, he takes a gazillion pictures but doesn't have 10 minutes to dry it after washing it. For the love of Pete!!!! I swear, this guy is a sub-species of the human race. What a piece of crap.

People do this to make the car look shinier. People like flash, and the water gives the illusion that the car is shinier than it really is.

Yo, Yo, Yo! :rofl:

Is it me, or does everything in the pics look pitted?? :confused:

Check out the off-center gauge---oil pressure gauge(I think). :confused:

What about those Cadillac hubcaps. Those are da bomb!!! Where can I get some to go with my red hood?

I think the color is great but the car is way too much for my taste.

Since this vehicle has been stored outside with a tarp covering it for quite some time, there are a few 'paint blisters' that need some TLC!

At least the previous owner had the sense to keep that ugly thing covered and out of sight! :crazy:

I'm getting my Vettes :steering: away from that thing in case it has diseases :rolleyes:

The first one... :lolg: :lolg: :lolg:


"The accelerator pedal is missing and should be replaced."


"The hood ornament has been removed, disassembled and plated with 24K Gold. The 'red' emblem that adheres to the ornament is incomplete. This emblem is actually a two piece item. The right half of it is missing."

"Features like these are custom, in every sense of the word."

"The original builder of this gorgeous 'Vette had only one philosophy; if it's metal...Plate it!

I'm thinking he should have gone with a little less gold on the car so he would have enough for those gold teeth!:D Seeing that just makes me like my car that much more.

What's the point of an aftermarket Race Shifter if the car is an automatic?
