Good catch, there. That's exactly what I thought when I saw it. But.... ugh.... for that, just buy a Factory Five Cobra Daytona shell :P It makes the SC look like Opus the Penguin when his butt keeps falling off and he has to staple it back on.

And you never want to compare a car to a character from the Bloom County / Outland comic strip.

Then again, the car in the link Luxor posted makes me think it could only have been designed by Bill The Homicidal Cat. Every question at design conferences would have been answered with an affirmative "ACK! ACK ACK ACK!!!"

That does NOT look like a corvette, that looks like a bucket of freaking barf! What a waste!

I hope and must have been a totaled Sc and the buyer was just trying to be creative, but its a "Something about Mary" moment.

"One of a kind" is not always something to brag about.

What a waste of artistic talent! Looks like a Veyron couldn't stop in time and ate a SC. Wonder if the bird on the back creates any down force. I imagine some yo yo will buy it to cruise the boulevard in.

None of US like it, but someone paid $5,000 for it.
