Default Ugly C3's

Yep, that's right, someone can take one of these great cars we love so much and turn it into something that may scare small children and make a grown man cry. Playing off of another recent thread about a vette in El Paso I was thinking, why not post some pictures of ugly Corvettes? So I'll start, enjoy!

Hi,
The pickup has been around a lot.
If you look carefully at the distance from the rear of the engine to the base of the windshield it appears this is a body dropped on an old pickup chassis, not a pickup built on a Corvette chassis.
Regards,
Alan
