Seems at one time it had fender flares and off now.Body work was done.

You'll see this car raw or restored at a Barrett-Jackson auction someday.

The Armstrong link may get the owner more than that but a $250K and the reserve is not met.
Add 10's of thousands in restoration ,that's a lot of cash.

The poor Vette looks like it belongs to a junk yard. And 72 bids for 249,990? Come on.

The history behind this car will make it go for a lot more than $250k if restored properly.

If you've ever watched a Barrett-Jackson auction, you'd be amazed at what some people would spend
