"Mad Max" themed C2 'Vette

Fun to look at... wouldn't want to own it. I would say it's a waste of a good car, but there are enough C2's out there that it's not heresy to do this to one of 'em, IMO.

That doesn't mean you'd want to own that! LOL!!!

You may also have to explain yourself to the POPO for having a pistol hanging off your fender. They may want to see if it is genuine.

I do like the theme but think the accessories are over the top. It would be a good $20k car - take off the garbage and repaint the roof in flat black - bingo!

I don't understand the reasoning behind any of the weapon placement. You would smack your hand on the mirror withdrawing the knife and only god knows how you would get to the pistol.

The pistol strapped to the passenger side exterior of the car is just asking to be carjacked. :-/

I think it's a lot like an OCC chopper. Basic vehicle with a lot of doodads stuck on it like cake frosting. I believe it would effectively draw a crowd of 6-9 year olds.

It's adorable. Actually, the level of workmanship seems to be pretty high, but techweenie nailed it.

Ford is the vehicle of choice in Mad Max: Fury Road - the next installment of the series...

That C2 is just sad... Wasn't it a Barrett Jackson car recently - anyone know if it sold?

That Vette was at the Barrett-Jackson auto auctions this year. Cool car but not my cup of tea.

fooking ridiculous. And there aren't enough C2's to be wasting any. That's easily a 40,000 dollar car. It's a '65 or '66.

That would make a good hammer, once you stripped the crap off of it.

If someone wants to do this, they should use one of the underpowered, silly-looking late 70's C3 vettes.

Furry Road? Is that one of those chick-wax shapes? Landing strip, furry road, arrow . . .

I would be ok with it if it was a well thought out, quality build. But bolting chains and knives on to the side of a car does not make it 'Mad Max'.

Dumb.

I hate to see this stuff... very sad. Why not butcher a Pontiac Aztek instead?
