Kind of cool but it couldn't replace my truck.
It was nice to see pics as I heard it being discussed over lunch at a roll out this afternoon.

Appears to be from a 04 Lemans Coupe? Love the twin tip exhaust.

OK, I've said on many occasions-- if GM came out with a "new" retro, Say of the 69 El Camino, it would SELL !!

But what I see here is Sick people, its Sick! I hope this car was a salvage car!! Cannot imagine doing this to a Vette on purpose... !!

I like it. Especially with the opening back window option.

I originally bought my F150 without that option and couldn't carry long stuff like 16' 2x4's. I ultimately had one installed and now it's all good.
