Nothing can make a Corvette ANY more awesome of a car...except for a little bit of El Camino.

I'm just trying to grasp the thought process that was behind something like this. It must have gone something like this:

"Ya know, I love everything about '65 Corvettes, except that ugly front end! The lines of the entire car are so rounded off and swoopy, I think a completely angular front end from a Monte Carlo would look awesome on it! I think I'll go buy a bunch of scratch tickets, and then hug a porcupine. Oh, and I'll bet that if I jumped off the barn roof and flapped my arms hard enough, I could fly!"

Something like that.......

Amen. Love to see its face returned to its natural beauty. Is there a doctor in the house?

Is it a mad science experiment? Corvette meets Dodge Magnum or maybe K-Car?

It kind of reminds me of the movie Corvette Summer that brought out all of the wierd conversions my friends created after seeing the show.

I got a picture somewhere of a AMC Javelin with a Trans Am front end sitting on a 4X4. Gotta be carefull with those resin fumes.

Well, when he or whomever, jumps from the barn roof, I hope they aim for the Monte Carlo part.

Looks like a problem for the C2 folks.

"...The real determining factor is the VIN number, of course, but the owner doesn’t give that up..."

Okay...buttfugly...the steel truck wheels really add to that, BUT if the frame isn't all messy and the price is right this could be a great driver mid year with a nose job of course.

Default ugly c2

I saw that thing on craigslist and almost blew chunks. Who in their right mind would think that looks good. Get the tar and feathers, or a rope.
