That’s “Why?” in spanish.

as in, why was this car made? why was it preserved? and why is it being offered for sale, asking $40k ?

so many ‘por que’s...

It always amazes me how good these look in a film, then you see them out of the film and they look so hackish.

True.

although in this case i think it started life looking hackish - as is custom when Roger Corman is attached to something.

Honestly, if it had wheels with proper offsets to fill out the widebody and a different paint finish (maybe a darker, glossier black), it could actually look pretty good.

I’ll trade them a set of “MR2 seats” I got on craigslist for the Corvette as-is. (The seats sit 5” higher than my stock seats despite having the same brackets)

CP at 40k though.

EDIT:

They hood-height to wheel-height ratio is totally unacceptable here:

Wasn’t apparent in the 3/4 & front views. Wrong proportions, won’t even trade ONE craigslist MR2 seat for it >:(

Appraised at $ 400k, selling for $ 40k.

Sounds like they were working an insurance fraud plan but chickened out.

I did! in the 90's I bought a bootleg VHS copy at a comic book convention. best/worst $10 bucks i’ve ever spent. i let someone borrow it and never got it back. though i’ve since seen that it’s up on youtube. I also remember that bad Captain America movie (with the rubber ears) of the same era. good times!
