I know...sacrilege. But there is something strangely appealing to me about this one.

Aside from the trailer hitch, that bizarre roll bar, and the luggage rack I like it.

I'd drive it.

The longer you look at it, the better it gets. It sure would be fun to drive.

I'd much rather see a C3 like that on the road, than see another one wrecked.

Looks like a fun ride!

It probably turns a few head when it drives into a truck or tractor pull event.

I like them with smaller tires so you can get more suspension travel..I know MA had a bumper height law back in the 80's to prevent jacking up vehicles and trailer hitches were a way around it

Agree with you! I usually cringe at the creative, though often comic-mocks of modified C3’s - and, the insults they invariably draw. But, that one would look right at home - big ‘ole mudflaps & all - parked alongside other 4x4’s around a firepit with friends after a day on the Silver Lake or Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes. He seems to have gotten it right with the proportions.

Yep...very well done. It kind of looks like the big tire toy trucks we played with as kids.

So if the front tilts foward, you can stand on those running boards and do anything you need in the engine compartment. I hope it has turbos or a supercharger to spin those meats!!!

It's probably due to state regulations (a lot of states are **** about tires outside the fenders), but it would look a lot better without the ugly diamond plate fenders.

I am not opposed to a 4 X 4 Vette.... if done properly. Growing up in Southern Michigan, I`ve seen everything you could imagine on a 4 X 4 frame. The one in this post is a bit over the top for me, but something a little more subtle would be nice.....
