This 1974 Corvette is truly unique thanks to its incredible Star Wars paint job.
A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away…this car would still be considered seriously cool.
It’s being put up for auction on eBay, although no bids have currently been placed on it.
That must be the Dark Side at work, as this is an awesome ride.

Not quite a TIE fighter, but still a sick set of wheels
This 3 speed manual is stocked with a 383ci Stroker V8 engine and has just over 30,000 miles on the odometer.
But let’s face it, the real draw here are the paintings adorning this car.
Each side of the vehicle has a little piece of Star Wars on it, and there are plenty of familiar faces for fans to see.
Painted in 1977 – the year that A New Hope was originally released – the seller presented this car as a ‘galactic visual adventure’.
The base color is a outer space purple, but the characters are still visible against the starry backdrop.
On the back, Princess Leia, Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Darth Vader, Chewbacca, C3PO and R2D2 are all accounted for.
But it doesn’t stop there – on the driver’s door is a X-wing fighter (A ship used by the Rebel forces in battle in the film).
On the flip side of the car is some badass concept art featuring Darth Vader in the middle of a lightsaber battle.
And right on the front is a image reminscient of the movie’s original poster, in which Luke and Leia are posed dramatically against an ominous backdrop of Darth Vader’s face.
The force is strong with Star Wars inspired cars
Whizzing around in our very Milennium Falcon – the model of which was made from car parts incidentally – may be a far-off fantasy for now, but Star Wars inspired cars are very much a reality.
In true Star Wars fashion, they were color coded – silver and blue on one, and black and red on the other.
Not that a car can be dark sided, of course.
But as it stands, this 1974 Corvette is the most impressive car tribute to the sci-fi series we’ve ever seen.
