It's an ugly Vette, but a nice 4x4.

Thought the same. Definitely, an oxymoron of a vehicle.

With 179 inches of snow so far this season, I would take a 4X4 C3 in a heartbeat. Yes it may be redneck, but then I would be able to enjoy some style all year long while driving my 74 in the summer. I would just lower the back of the body a tad and change the paint

Edit: And this may be a bonus for the rubber bumper C3 being they won't rust
