One of a kind? ABSOLUTELY!!! This car was built for charity and was featured at the Hartford Armory at the end of February (I believe 1984) where Charlie Regini was raising money for the March of Dimes! Ironically, not the March of pennies! lol...I can tell you that I had it at a show one time and the amount of people that were ALL OVER this car was truly AMAZING! I can only imagine how much it made for the charity but it must have been a lot!!! So, the car has a 283 in it that runs well but is lightly pushing a little oil from sitting I am sure, so it smokes a lil from tailpipe....It drives well with it's powerglide transmission. The interior is in nice shape but has a seam split on one seat. The pictures show the entire article that was published in the Feb 1984 magazine 'Keepin track of VETTES!' That article really tells it all! There are 25,000 pennies and other coins on the cars body, frame and floors. The car comes with the two magazines (in mint condition) and the two billboards made by Mr. Regini. (Only one is pictured, the other is framed) and the signatures on the hardtop which are pictured. I do not know who signed this window!!! I have more pictures that I can send to a phone for you and I will have a video as well that will be added tomorrow evening or Wed. Call me anytime between 9am and 9pm and I would rather calls because texts aren't too serious at AREA CODE... 631-357-2602
This is a NO RESERVE AUCTION which means that you could be the high bidder if you place a bid so PLEASE PLEASE make serious bids and DO NOT win the auction and then give me some excuse. I work hard to make this auction happen and I would appreciate buyers call me and ask questions before bidding. If you do not respond to my emails after you bid or calls then I will simply cancel your bid. I have done ebay for many years and have a big ebay score so I have seen and heard it all! I have 100% feedback rating over 10+ years!

I forgot to mention that this car was also featured in Vette Magazine in Dec of 1989 in a special issue named 'THE 10 MOST OUTRAGEOUS CORVETTES OF ALL TIME' This one was number 5 and I pictured the magazine article! A very unique and well known car that could be worth much, much more of what it will sell for I am sure at some point sooner than later!
Also, one mag claims 35000 pennies and other coins and the other claims 25000...I just figured to write the lesser amount for arguments sake!
