Default edelbrock vette van, really?!

I cant find details perhaps thats a good thing so i didnt look hard,

This thing has all the styling appeal to me of a loaf of french bread mated with a generic post style mail box,

I found it hunting Google for a custom i havent seen, and nope, never saw this before....



I hope it doesnt grow on me....

You've never seen this, because it only exists in Photoshop.

They should have photoshoped some headlights and doors into it if they wanted us to believe that it is legal and drivable .

Bats, you are normally the voice of reason when it comes to chastising everybody for bashing customs. Seems you've gone over to the dark side. Sigh. My world is turning upside down.

I don't HATE it. That's all I can give it.

Way to ruin the illusion for me. LOL. I was hoping it was real. Maybe there isn't a Santa Claus either.

I would've liked to have seen the rear view.

If some one was practicing their photo chop skills... you`d think they`d pick a better subject than the off-spring of a Corvette / Greyhound bus match up!

Me and any rhyme or reason, Not really,

There was for a long time a trend to trash any and every modifacation just because, but now most c3s have some mods of some kind, so trashing has become a bit hypocritical,

i have never supported hack jobs, and fully admit some customs are tacky as all hell and likely only loved by the owner,

What i defend is a cats right to build a modded car to his or her liking and have tried to appeal to people to give credit and even respect if workmanship is nice even if end result isnt anyones cup o tea,

In the case of this van, i didnt know it was fake, im on my phone, little screen old eyes and fell for it being an old crap picture of a very odd looking custom...

Well said. It's all good. I was teasing, and hope it came across that way.

The "Hemi" was photoshopped by Capsule over at Road Runner Nest.

I know what you're saying, but in the case of the "Vette Van", look at the lettering on it's side. The perspective, while close, is still off a bit, if the car was actually the real thing.

Looks like the offspring of a 72 and the Weinermobile.

After seeing the green Mopar, they are both growing on me. But then, I like old cab over trucks...
