Chill out guys! That's not a Corvette, its an old Opel GT on what looks like a short wheelbase Ford Bronco chassis or something of similar size.

Its interesting Ill give it that. But geez is nothing sacred. Its oddly tempting as any temptation of satan may be, I almost would want to own it on a Just because basis. let ricers talk trash to a corvette that goes jumps and lands on them. CRUNCH. I would never do it, I could never do that to a peice of all american art like a corvette. But Oh well at least it was an opel.

There's a psychedelic colored mid-year (dunno the year) around Shelton sitting on a Toyota 4X4 rolling chasis complete with Toyota 4 banger 35" tires and all!! Looked alot like the Opel in the pic. When I saw it I almost :U and out loud said WTF? My wife said to be quiet, the owner is sitting in a chair right behind it. I didn't care, it was butt-ugly IMO. However, each to their own, I suppose.
