2017 Chevy Corvette being sold at $50 comes with huge catch

Getting a 2017 Chevy Corvette for $50 sounds too good to be true.

You’d be right to think that.

That’s not to say that when it comes to buying cars, everybody would love to bag a bargain.

However, to say that this $50 Corvette has some strings attached would be a huge understatement.

What is the catch behind this super cheap Chevy Corvette?

You might be wondering what sort of catch would come along with such a ludicrously cheap car.

Perhaps it had a million mechanical issues with it, like this Mercedes-Benz that went for $4.1k?

You wouldn’t technically be wrong in this case.

However, mechanical issues don’t begin to cover what’s wrong with this car.

We present to you the 2017 Chevy Corvette that a Californian insurance company is trying to sell for 50 bucks.

The car was previously stolen and raided for parts.

You name it – it’s gone: the engine, transmission, battery, catalytic converter, and all internal parts.

The car’s original value in one piece was said to be $43,595.

It’s hard to even put into words what is left of this Corvette.

The front window still remains, but it’s smashed.

Is there any hope for this car?

It’s a far cry from what it used to be, that’s for sure.

In its full form, the car was powered by a 6.2-liter V8 engine and could zip from 0-97km/h/0-60mph in a jaw-dropping 3.7 seconds.

Whilst it could once hit a top speed of 306km/h (190mph), there’s no hope of it getting very far in its current state.

Should anyone fancy taking on this Corvette to bring it back to life, the repair work will cost way more than the car.

If you can even call this piece of metal and glass a car anymore.
