I kind of like it too. It's way out there and far enough that it doesn't look stupid, but sort of cool. How do you curve a truck cap and the side windows like that? That big trailer hitch is functional and you never have to polish up those crappy old chrome bumpers again. The hangers for the motorcycle exhaust look a bit tacky but I bet it would be a bunch of fun, especially with beer.

I drive around fixing copiers. My 75 vert has no room for copier parts. Food for thought.. Nah, I'll just use my Prius!! BTW, that is a factory option. Look at the Corvette emblem on it...

Properly done it could be an interesting concept. It reminds me of the GTC4Lusso for some reason.

Extra points for adding a tow hook.
