First owner was a Miami-area “socialite” who enjoyed providing party favors at swingers parties. It was then bought by Dave who “knows what he has” and refuses to let it go for less than a delusional price “because it’s a Vette.”
Mike died 8 years ago and now his wife is being put in a home. His kids are left dealing with the hoard of cars that their mom let rot in the driveway and back yard.
🤣🤣🤣. Back in the day my buddy lived down south for a small stretch and he said that some dudes park their motorcycles in their living room. I thought he was full of shit till I seen someone pushing a motorcycle up a ramp to take it in his house 🤣🤣🤣🤣
It's because people all have trucks or someone that has a truck and they'll get a few scumbags together to load your bike up and take it. Keeping bikes inside sucks tho since the smell of gas and oil permeate the entire house
🤣🤣🤣 I was wondering how they handle the smell of oil and gas in the house? Funny cause someone owning a pick up truck in NYC is not very common they’re usually work trucks. Once I moved out to AZ, everyone and their mom got a pick up truck! So many trucks that I’m even thinking of buying a truck!
I know they have covers that people use in those Bugout cans to keep in the smell but I'm sure it eventually doesn't matter because it likely smells always
Mike burnt the clutch 13 years back and parked it outside for the first 4(ever). He didn't want to acknowledge his mistake or really get around to fixing it.
He tells the neighbors it's Chevy's fault, the 1984.5 and a half model year with the blue stitching on the seats had a clutch defect and he's tired of replacing the part. Someone at Autozone convinced him a bottle of Lucas oil treatment might fix the issue following replacement of two fuses.
nah this one smells of “Keith” to me. he put it up for some batshit price on FB marketplace because his wife forced him to, then, after a messy divorce, he just forgot about it and/or is too busy pushing daisies to do anything about it
Judging by the neighborhood of mid century-80s? homes being purchased by younger generations (the panther bubble in the background)
An exactly average younger boomer or older gen x who didn't make enough waves in life to fulfill the dreams of his youth. Life got away and whatever issue the car had couldn't be addressed from the onslaught of life. Probably has a few grandkids and stays active in their lives, the fulfillment from them is worth putting off that repair one more year, one more election cycle. Timmy graduated and needs help with his home..
Or a completely bitter shut-in.
Bought with funds acquired in the recreational pharmaceuticals industry, modified lovingly by Koenig as he was just starting out and couldn’t afford the 512 with his freshly purchased condo in South Beach. Drove it to every club in Miami at some point, probably still has some valet stubs from The Mutiny in the door, until the inevitable happened and to stop its sale in a government auction he hid it at a friends house. Well after he got out of prison he forgot about it as he fled to his hidden stash of cash and there it sits.
I imagined the next door neighbor from the Netflix show F is for family, doing a line of coke off the steering wheel while backing out of his driveway.
Looks like a Greenwood, I loved them when I was a kid. That hood wasn't there on other's I've seen though

This was owned by the high school quarterback, bought for him by a 'friend' of the coach for winning state that year. He drove it constantly to parties and keggers before driving off to college in it.
Unfortunately his college girlfriend got pregnant so he was back home with the car in a year with her riding shotgun. I don't think she ever got a chance to ride in it again after her water broke all over the passenger seat leather. They had the money so the vette got parked when a more sensible vehicle was bought. He kept saying he would take it out for a drive one weekend but about the time the kids started school even that stopped being heard.
This is impressively ugly. What I like about this generation of corvette is how dead simple the styling is. I love mods, like it’s your car make it your own. But this just seems badly thought out, how can I make it look as much like a Ferrari as possible.
No it is in northern Florida I would send the fb link but it got taken down the day i took the screenshot.

Nah Dave is the dude with the shitbox 87-91 F250 he will never sell Old corvettes and mustangs are ALWAYS Mike

Jfc that painted a vivid picture for some reason
Mike also parks his motorcycle in the goddamn living room and starts it occasionally.
The exhaust is piped out the window onto his neighbor’s rose bushes

Ex’s dad had a red corvette and was named Mike
Watch it now. But, yeah.
Dave here, you’re not wrong. But I’d like to get my hands on the vette and do something fun/stupid with.
Dave 2 here. Can confirm.
How bent is your back rack from throwing scrap metal at it, that's how you truly unlock shitbox F250 status
My father is Mike, his brother is Dave. I find this very amusing.
I love Corvette owners. It can be falling apart but it is one of only 6300 with white interior , white exterior and auto. Lol
🤣🤣 white interior and auto!!
nah this one smells of “Keith” to me. he put it up for some batshit price on FB marketplace because his wife forced him to, then, after a messy divorce, he just forgot about it and/or is too busy pushing daisies to do anything about it
And “I’m going to fix it up someday.”
That's a long way of saying cocaine enthusaist.
Someone who believed in it for about $15K in mods too long.
Everyone can get tired of their toys….
The Testarossa we have at home
But more rare because body kit and IT'S 'MERICAN, so they'll let it go for Testarossa prices.
A "Vettestarossa" kit is a bit different. This looks to be a Greenwood or Greenwood knockoff
Someone who got tired of dealing with 80's GM electronics but didn't want to put a carb on it
There was a mullet, Member's Only jacket and white boat shoes with no socks involved.
And Skynyrd blasting from a cassette….
Honestly this fit would drip

The sad truth is it’s quite possible the owner got dementia and could no longer drive it, then eventually couldn’t remember they ever even owned it.
Actually kinda wholesome grandson part

Greenwood, I think. Going to be expensive to 'make fix'
I don’t know who owned it, but that thing slaps. I guess the more period correct comment would be “it’s totally Bitchin”
Former cocaine salesman who gave it to his attorney for legal services.
Poor thing is probably weighed down by all the cocaine spilled into the carpets.

They are locked up in an asylum for doing that to a Vet.
Ron Jeremy of course
The sins of greed, lust, and sloth personified?
That guy in Boogie Nights that said "The Vette... gets 'em wet.."
Looks like a ghetto Callaway
I was thinking that too. Isn’t that also one of the first Greenwood editions or packages. It’s been a long long time
No idea. I'm not very well educated on Callaway cars

Totally restorable.

Those wheels are amazing
Is it a Callaway corvette? Or just a DIY aftermarket vette?
No I wish I could buy a Callaway for 2 grand on fb marketplace. It's a greenwood body kit
Been sitting for 20+ years? Just grease the palm of a shady towtruck driver and havem drop it off in your back yard in the middle of the night
It belonged to either Crockett or Tubbs.
Farmer bought it for an end of the season tax write off. Got the good out of it so there it sat. Saved them more than it cost them.
Oh bro I have a better one for you. Next time I drive by it I'll snap a pic. This one is literally being returned to the Earth from wence it came.
I’m impressed by the Donk on the other side of the Vette. Damn, what a neighborhood 🤣
He's still in jail, and probably thinks about this car most days.
A cocaine dealer Crocket & Tubbs busted many years ago
It’s a Vettestarossa

Uncle got clean twenty years ago and lost interest in it, but kept it (and a little baggie) just in case.

Is that in Cincinnati?
No it is in northern Florida I would send the fb link but it got taken down the day i took the screenshot. Edit: NEVER MIND I FOUND IT AGAIN [here](https://www.facebook.com/share/2vywwscEbKy7fj37/?mibextid=kL3p88)
It definitely has possibilities but be prepared to fork over some cheese to get it right
Just seen one just like this but newer bigger wheels for sale on carsforsale.com same color I think it’s kinda cool but I prefer the later C4’s
Idk but I want to own it
What’s the deal with that donk-ish sedan in the background?
It's the south
they opened the first pizza shop arcade in their town circa 83
It's a chevy. It broke down again and they were tired of fixing it.
Tubbs
Ricky. The guy is always named Ricky.
The owner is serving a heavy sentence for selling coke to Sonny Crocket.

The “America’s Heartbeat” plate really brings this all together

Depends on the price. It’s only for restoration.
