Yup, the guy that owned Bayliner boats had that one done, sunk a ton of coin into it. Been all over Ebay.

Yeah I remember this on Ebay as well he was asking way more than what its worth, but it is certainly a one of one creation. And I suspect he will never get what he paid for to have it done back. Kinda cool

Dunno, but it's nicely done. There's some other pics floating around. As long as the frame is reinforced and it's got some helper springs in there, it will have no problem hauling some industrial quantities of ***.

It looks awful.
A complete waste and ruin of a C4 Corvette.

Default c4 truck.

Wether I like it or not atleast there are still people that a love spending time and money on their vehicles.

We may not always agree with what others do the their cars but we should still respect the fact that we all have a love for them.

By the way. I think the c4 truck is ugly.

Wouldn't it be great to take that final ride to the cemetary in the back of that? Everybody's gotta go sometime...might as well be doing it.

Yeah, that sure sucked. He's already working on a new one...hadn't seen any updates in a while. Maybe he'll chime in soon.

Personally, I like it. If you need a truck, but want the style and power of the vette...voila...the best of both worlds. I'd think that would just make an awesome shop car/truck. I wouldn't want it as a personal car though.

Neiman Marcus used to have a Cadillac pickup with the longhorn hood ornament listed in their Christmas catalog twenty or thirty years ago...
