Wow, beautiful car, and super rare. I wonder how serious the seller is? If he really wanted to get rid of it I think he would have brought to B-J or similar.

wow...that go no where near the "buy it now" price!!!!!!

I would think B-J would be a much smarter place than eBay!

That car is not that exciting to me. Now finding a Unicorn would be cool.

Amazing, and it sure looks in original shape...practically looks new for '05.

But to put that in perspective, that Buy-It-Now price would pay for HALF a new Veyron. Anyone ready to pay 3/4 mil for this Vette likely has or had his name on the list for an Enzo.

Vintage+454+Vette+Rare=$$$$$$$$$

This is not a new formula, but rather, just the absolute extreme of it.

The question is, if this guy is in Redwood City (roughly my neck of the woods), what was/is his racket? Did he/she score this new?

I can't remember the name of the corvette, but it is worth over 1 million dollars. This guy was driving it at PIR (Portland International Raceway) during a classic car show. He crashed it into a wall!!! It was pretty sad!
