Interesting story...… not sure if the dude was crazy, or a genius.

Rust in Peace I guess.

Because of how they had to lift the front. I imagine the hood was closed proper before the hole was filled.

I would have preferred he be sitting in the seat, hands on the wheel. But still super cool

A lot cheaper to be buried in a C4 than a coffin these days!

What's not to like other than taking up additional burial space? Me, I've thought about it before. Wouldn't will my Vette to the wife or either of the kids mainly because none can drive a manual nor have they shown the slightest interest in keep a car in good condition. A coffin will run $3K-$6K anyway so pricewise it works out as a wash.

It would make an interesting zombie flick.

The cost probably would be offset by the cost of a vault it would fit in. Just a thought.
