How would you spend the first 1,000 miles of your brand new C7? An average driver will reach that point after just one month of owning a vehicle, involving it in his or her 25-mile commute to work plus the occasional jaunt to a friend or relative’s home every other weekend.

However, we like to think that Corvettes, especially this latest breed, get a little bit more strenuous exercise mixed in. Burnouts out of a parking lot, track days, maybe even some “spirited” sprints down the highway where the police weren’t looking. All the fun (and trouble) you can get into with a C7 therefore puts it in a higher danger index and sometimes, accidents happen, like in the case of this Arctic White 1LT Stingray resting in Northern Virginia.

Found through a search on the IAA (Insurance Auto Auctions) listings,  this 2015 coupe had everything going for it: a stout 6.2L LT1 V8, sporting an 11.5:1 compression ratio and 460 hp and 465 lb-ft; a plush grey-on-red interior, with that receding infotainment system hiding a storage area; and let’s not forget the youth factor, having been made in October 2014, putting its lifespan at just under four months with 683 miles on the clock.

We say “had everything going for it” because the car is plainly not going anywhere now. Its front end is in complete disarray, the hood missing and the fascia in pieces. The deployed driver’s airbag inside the cabin lets us know the driver was alone when the crap hit the fan, but it’s little consolation to him to see the car now sitting idly as the days tick by.

A fixed-up value of $59,571 has been assigned to the Corvette, with an estimated $40,489 repair bill standing in the way. Not exactly a fearless task for anyone who’s looking for a quick fix-and-flip on a Corvette. What are your thoughts?
