Need help! Maybe my new GTS!

[99 R/T 10]

Want some opinions, I think this may be the one for me:

You can't be serious?

An old vette with a Viper body? Zero feedback? No bids and not at reserve.

No one buys from zero feedback, especially a car (sort of)

That thing is sweet. I think I'll open a moonshine business and that will be my prosperity statement.

You need to see if he will trade it for your b/w RT/10. Maybe if you give him some extra cash.

 

[Bluvenm97]

I'll take the front fascia for $50...

LOL!!!!
Come on now this is a joke right?

That is just SO wrong I don't know where to begin..

 

[CROM]

If I know 99 R/T 10 and I dont...I'd say he is serious. He's a little, um...

What's really weird is some of those body panels look like actuall viper parts...

 

[DrDJ]

That needs to be posted on the vette forums.

thinking the same thing. if this is a replica, it is a pretty darn accurate one. i have seen MUCH WORSE.

I'm such an idiot....I could have saved a ton and picked up this beauty....

(It does look fairly good though from what I can see...)

Maybe I was reading it wrong, but the impression that I got was that it was a Viper with a 'Vette engine, not a Vette with Viper body. As far as I can see, the exterior and interior are stock Viper. He probably blew the motor and rather than springing for a V10, went with a cheapy V8.

Just my inclination based on the ad.

possibly, but notice the hood has no NACA duct or louvers over the wheels. fog lamps are gone too. never seen a hood like that. side mirrors look very small and an odd shape. and he call it a "replica/kit"?


if this is a REAL viper and he put a vette engine in it, we should ALL drive to his house TODAY and BEAT HIS A-S-S!!

Gen 1 hood maybe? He also could've relocated the foglights from their normal position to the center of the bumper

i sent an email to the seller to clarify. hopefully he will respond.

 

[big-n-italian]

here is the sellers response.


everything under this car is a 1999 corvette, the kit portion is the body of the car and interior.
you may also call me at ***-***-XXXX.
thank you

Might not want to post her phone number here. She may get put on some telemarketer list.

good idea - changed. thanks.

 

[goldcup]

Oh yeah that one will take you far!!!Cant let that one pass by.I would bet they spent as much money building as it cost to buy the real thing.

 

[Lambojf]

At least its a compliment to the Viper.(imitation is the sincerest form of flattery). I'm not surprised that someone would want their vette to look like a Viper. Funny though, there are kits to make a vette into a Viper, but none to transform the Viper into anything else.
Shows what bow tie boys really wish they were.

i think i found one of the mfgrs.

Chester Sportscars Venom Kits
