I wouldn't think it's "street legal" with the tires sticking out so far?

Nicely done. Its' amazing the things people do to Corvettes, some in the good way (like this). Some frightening.

Not my bag... but someone's definitely getting one hell of a 4X4 for 7k.

Dang! I should think lumping the well-armed prepper in with anyone who would do such a thing to a Corvette rather offensive...
to the preppers.

Its an all in one sports car hauler and zombie crusher. If I had to choose a vehicle to flee in it would be the c3-4x4

Not true! most of us drive pick ups instead of hacking up our Vettes.

Not to hijack the thread, but does anyone know if C4s and newer get the 4x4 treatment as well?

I was noticing the tubes on the front and fishing came to mind. Then look! It has fishing poles on the roof! What a great car, can pull up close to the water in the sand and fish and even sit in the car doing it!

EDIT: Could complete the front by putting doors where the lights go for live bait wet and dry up there.

those tubes can also be used as flare launchers.

Or, for those especially large fish, you can simply fire her up, and drag those big fishes to shore. See how well flipper competes a V8 and 4WD!

Without the "pipes" in the front and the rack on the roof this one is pretty darn nice.
