Madwhips.com is a website at which you can post pics of supercars, classics and muscle machines that you've spotted driving around town. This C3 Vette falls into none of those categories, but is a spectacle all its own. The owner has made a number of modifications that have, well, absolutely ruined this car. There are the white wall tires, faux port holes on the B-pillars, the fake split windshield, an entirely too complicated center stripe, and those horrific wheels. The cherry on top is a pair of hood ornaments that look like bare breasted ladies with fish heads mounted up near the base of the windshield. There's more, but enumerating them just makes us sad. Look for yourself in the gallery below. And we're pretty sure that Chevy never offered Smurf as a color from the factory. Sigh...

This jack-ass should be publicly flogged in the town's square.

50 lashes with a wet noodle!!!
honestly, whomever does that to a car doesn't deserve a car, American(or Canadian?) rice at it's finest

5 bucks the owner was mexican. How do I know? Three words. Stick-on-chrome.

I agree with everyone here, I would never do that to my vette, or any of my cars for that matter, but why would you guys pick out a car, and rip on it, is that what this site has been reduced to? Really, it's none of anyones business except the owners. If you don't like it, go buy your own vette, and restore it to original, or do whatever you like to it, but this is childish crap to single out someones car, and write an article on how ugly it is. Do it better yourself if you don't like it!

At least it looks like this car's disease is curable with a visit to the local body shop/hospital. It's owner/creator on the other hand, has a whole other set of issues.

I'll second the "it's only paint" sentiment, nothing to worry about here. Good taste is always a personal call so I'll just not comment on that...

Did that Lic. Plate say Ontario? Suggesting at frost bite on the brain.

That's AWESOME! I want to do some of that to my 2001 Aztek!!!

Eh, personally that's one of the ugliest generations of the Corvette anyway. So, if one HAD to go, it might as well be that one, lol.
Speaking of UGLY C3 Corvettes, anyone here ever see the movie Corvette Summer?! If not, Google it RIGHT NOW! LMAO!
Mr. Oak @ Dec 7th 2007 2:59PM
I saw that horrible movie. That car still holds the title as ugliest 'Vette ever. This is a not too distant second.
Bryan @ Dec 7th 2007 3:00PM
Thanks, now I can't look at Luke Skywalker the same :)
iamhoff @ Dec 7th 2007 3:16PM
When I saw this story, I instantly thought of Corvette Summer. Frankly, I'd have to place this Vette above the Corvette Summer one in the worst Vette list. At least the CS one had mods to make it look more aggressive. Aggressive like a pimp, sure, but the one here in AB just looks sad.

Only in Canada!!!!

It looks like it belongs on the cover of a (banned) Dr. Seuss book.
