Default OCC Corvette Theme Chopper!!!

OCC Corvette Theme Chopper!!! Wouldn't this be cool? Besides Vettes, I love to check out the new choppers being built with the big azz rear wheels and custom paint jobs. I am also addicted to watching the Orange County Choppers TV show and seeing how the theme bikes come together. I can't help but wonder what a Corvette theme chopper would look like, I'm sure it would awesome!!!

This just in - WCCPAUL has information that in cooperation with Keen Parts in Cleves Ohio, a Corvette Theme chopper being built by OCC will be unvailed At Carlisle this August. Read on for more info.....

Joe Cooool called them up & asked them about it & they told him it would be about $120K & he'd have to wait 2 years.

To get it done faster GM would probably need to go through the Discovery channel, and tie it in with some other comemorative event. IMO.

They were here in Carlisle over the weekend and while setting up I had a chance to talk with them about this as they were looking at my car.
Pretty much the same story as what Phil got....theme bikes are 2 years out but customer bikes are only about 10 months out.
Theme bikes start at 120 k and go from there.
As cool as they are there were others there that had bikes just as nice or nicer.... Eddie Trotter had the best IMO

Move the decimal point to the left one or two places and I might be able to stretch the finances to get one.

I think that someone should donate their Corvette to Monster Garage to do a Corvetteforum themed conversion.

I was there and Eddie from Florida had the best bike and a 6 minute line for an autograph vs 6 hours for the OCC gang !

If they did build a Vette theme chopper they would only have 2 weeks to do it, they would get behind schedule, Paul Sr would come in yelling etc...

I never get tired of that. What a storyline for a TV show. The way Sr. and Jr. go at is entertaining and bring Vinny into the fray..... But now they hired a "Director of Operations"? Not sure what thats all about. Great show, great car and great bikes. Just a thought, sorry it doesn't have a purpose!
