Corvette Truck - FTW of the entire internet

Epic comes to mind. Not mine, no connection.

In what sense is this a Corvette?

I'm surprisingly... ok with that.
Sure, it's an overpriced monstrosity, but I kinda like it.

If I pour vodka into my eyes, will that wash the memories of this away?

Thats a kit, albeit highly customized (horribly of course), that converts a caprice into a truck-ish.

How its related to a Corvette in anyway, is likely like the folks that say their Camaro has a Corvette motor in it.

Yeah, unless its an LSx or the original ZR-1 motor, its not that special compared to what you can put together in the aftermarket.

305? berkeley that.

Yep, as turboswede said it's a kit that installs on a box Caprice. I sold my T-Bucket a while back and the new owner showed up in one of these. I could hardly contain my laughter and I was embarrassed to have it in my front yard. The owner thought it was the coolest thing since sliced bread

cut the price by about 3/4, and i'd totally drive that thing... but only after putting all the HD cop car suspension goodies under it with Impala SS lowering springs and some flavor of mildly built LS engine under the hood..

Meth and hockey hair.

Aaaaaaarrrgggghhhh

The ultimate expression of "just because you can, doesn't mean you should".

That's not a corvette at all, it's a rebodied Caprice. I talked to an owner of one of the last year in W. Va.

well...now that I typed that last sentence, it all make sense.

You make it too easy.

Is it easier to buy an old El Camino?

Looks OK apart from the headlights...bucket headlights almost never look good.

Corvette Pick up. 305/Automatic,

There was no compromise in that build. He got it all wrong.

I think I threw up a little.

Well this one pic shows a polished late '70's Vette wheel:

So I guess that makes it a Corvette.

All the other photos have chromed plastic wheel covers and skinny white wall tires which really complement the aesthetics of the vehicle.

There are so many better things a Caprice could be turned into. A pile of rust comes to mind...

"a real head turner"

...yep... turn away...

BEHOLD!!! I have made love to this machine...

....step away from your keyboard and nobody will get hurt....

wow, that is horrible. i was wondering if "step deck" was some kind of S/T-10 reference. guess not.

Didn't Robbie Gordon already do this?

I am pretty open minded about peoples choices in cars and trucks, but that is awful.

The only redeeming feature is that you're unlikely to see one on the road.
