A Corvette Stingray Concept Replica So Bad, It Would Embarrass Michael Bay
This Corvette Stingray Concept Replica on eBay makes every horrible thing Michael Bay did with the car's Transformers character "Sideswipe" seem thought out and reasonable. It's so bad, other Corvettes look away. Unbelievably, bidding's currently up to $38,000.
This custom monstrosity is a cacophony of crap. A bad idea compounded by questionable taste and executed with nothing less than malicious intent. This C6-generation Corvette-based Stingray concept is wrong in so many ways it makes us wonder if it was part of some elaborate plot to end automotive enthusiasm. The horribleness of the car wouldn't be so bad if there weren't 19 bids on this one-off train wreck, driving the price up to a face-palmable $38,150. Oh! The humanity!
The only solace is there's a perfectly good LS3-powered 2008 Corvette under there, and with some replacement body pieces it should be salvageable.

Ouch! Apparently someone will be driving that awful thing not knowing people are snickering behind his back about it....
You would think that there would be at least ONE viewpoint from which that car would look half-way decent.....

That is certainly a FAIL. Only cool thing is that they brought the clam shell hood back. Would LOVE to see that on the C7, but I think thats wishful thinking at best.

I agree!
That was about the only part of it I liked!

Seems to me that would be the price for a regular 08 Vette (or close anyway) so the extra "custom" work goes in for free to the unaware buyer! LMAO
To each their own..... Just none of this one for me! GGEZZZ

Good point brother
All joking aside (well most of it anyway), there's undoubtedly someone out there that goes for all the Transformers crap.
Not for me but who am I to judge?
I drive a freaking RICER!

It's definitely FUGLY! On a related note, I don't like the Transformers Corvette either.
