Soooooooo, there really is a Corvette pickup. Hmmm. It actually looks nice. But, I gotta agreee: why do that to a good Corvette? Unless of course it was a basket case and put back together that way. Hmmm. It does look kinda nice from this angle.

As allways we must point out things that are wrong. Like that exhaust thats pratically dragging on the ground. I have to say that thing rocks! I love the way it looks. I think one thing would make it better....that rear window, if it would roll down

To make it a "useful" pickup he had to remove the spare and drop the exhaust. I like it, all it needs is side pipes!

Default Rodeo Rig

I grew up in the Cattle Business and have driven a Chevrolet pickup since I was 16, so this is a good blend of both worlds. Now that would look really great pulling a matching One-Horse trailer. I used to be a calf roper and I could Rodeo in real style with that rig! Cowboys like Corvettes too. My license plate would look good on it too (see avatar).

Waste of money doing that to a C4 when there are so many Camaros around.

It's cool because it looks factory. I used to do paint and body work years ago and I couldn't even imagine doing that. Somebody had a ton of time in making that one. The tailgate is really nice.

Normally, this sort of thing turns me right off.
But, from what I can see, someone did this right...I like it!

Someone did a badass job on that car.

I remember seeing it on Ebay awhile back ,think the owner of a boat mfg. co. had it done. Started off as an 84, wound up carbed with a 4 speed gearbox.

Did you buy it off Ebay and are selling it again, or are you the one who had the car done?

I like it!
