Craigslist Find: We Don’t Know What A “Vipette” Is But We Do Know That It Makes Us Sad


Craigslist Find: We Don’t Know What A “Vipette” Is But We Do Know That It Makes Us Sad

Marcus Buckley found this creation on Craisglist and immediately thought that he needed to send it to us for the site. That pretty much makes us question every decision we have ever made in life, but we appreciate Marcus’s thoughtfulness and the fact that after repeatedly barfing from viewing the photos, we didn’t gain any weight from dinner. You are actually looking at a vehicle that started life as a 1988 Chevy Caprice. After that a whole bunch of weird ideas were foisted upon the otherwise defenseless car and now it is a self proclaimed, “Vipette”. Why is it called a “Vipette” we think because it is supposed to appear like a Viper in the front and a Corvette in the rear. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! Are we right? Huh? Are we right?

With a stock Caprice suspension and a reman 350 providing the power this baby must be just like driving a Viper assed Corvette. Purple seats, wood wheel, and chicks beating down the door at every stoplight asking if you, “want a date” because they’re hookers mean you are living la vida Vipette. It does have the sweet transmission hump plastic cup holder thing though, so there’s that. To keep the full performance feel of the Vipette, we’re glad the guys kept the air injection tubes and three miles of vacuum lines on the engine. Pulling that stuff off means you are headed straight into race car territory and this baby is 100% street legal.

We’re stopping here because if not we’d have to tell you that the seller is asking $13,000 and that you send us into a fit of Caprice addled rage. The good news is that we’ll never forget seeing this thing and it’s probably haunt Marcus’s dreams, too.
