Corvettes on eBay: Drug Dealer’s Seized 2013 Corvette Grand Sport
Later this week, a 2013 Corvette Grand Sport
Convertible with a rather unique history,
despite its short-lived existence, could be in the
hands of a new owner.
We first told you about this yellow Corvette
late last year after it was seized by authorities
with just a little more than 100 miles on the
odometer!
The owner was arrested after a search
warrant in Grayland, Washington yielded 8
pounds of marijuana and tens of thousands of
dollars in cash at the residence of 57-year-old
Wayne Dean Bisterfelt.
Now the car – which features the 3LT equipment package and black wheels – is being auctioned off on
eBay, with the bid reaching $55,100 as of Monday Morning. The auction runs through May 12. The ad
says that the car has just 108 miles after being driven from the car lot to the owner’s home.
Pacific County Sheriff Scott Johnson said the owner of the Corvette had traded in another late model
Corvette and paid for the 2013 model in cash.
“We’re talking about a transaction of about $74,000 not including sales tax,” Johnson said. “Deputies
believe that a third vehicle that belongs at the residence, a newer special edition SUV, was purchased
with cash as well.
It was not at the residence at the time the warrant was served.”
Ironically, the man who was arrested had no teeth but told authorities that he couldn’t afford dentures.
Deputies working in conjunction with the Pacific County Drug Task Force had originally entered the
residence with a search warrant for a violation of a court order. Once inside the house, however, they
found a large amount of marijuana and an impressive growing operation set up. No growing plants were
found as the suspects were apparently between growing seasons, the sheriff said.
Diesel-Powered C3 Corvette Goes Home
They say you can’t go home again, but don’t tell that to
this unusual 1978 Corvette.
Back in 1981, Richard Sanson and his son, Ricky, bought
the ice blue Corvette when it was just a pile of charred
wreckage after it had caught fire on Interstate 77 near
Charleston, S.C.
They decided to make the restoration into a father-son
project but took an unusual angle by installing a diesel
engine under the hood.
