Default Corvette utility vehicle

I needed to get our car club's music/PA system to our cruise-in this morning and my usual method of transport, my '52 Chevy pickup is down for maintenance. So, I decided to see if I could get the required equipment to fit in my '79 Corvette.

I needed to fit two 70lb speakers, the CD deck, two large extension cords, two 100 ft speaker cables, tailgate flagpole & club flag. At first I thought I may be able to squeeze one speaker and the deck in there, but with a little creativity I was able to squeeze it all in! I am just glad I only have to travel 6 miles loaded like this!







Thanks to the fold down passenger seat I got the second 70 lb speaker in and the should belt secured it.










We are gonna have some tunes and good times today!

I have stuffed a bunch of cargo in my 72, but the most fun was stuffing 3 girls in a 2 seater.
