    Those wheels are ugly.

    I quite like it though, although the rear gate wont do the aerodynamics any good.

    +++ and the stock A-line wheels were certainly just about the best styling feature of the late ZR-1s.

    Maybe they could leave the tailgate down and put on one of those yellow nylon cargo nets.

    I used to have a bunch of pictures of Porsche 928s converted to "pickups" - when done properly, I thought they looked great. What's wrong with a similarly converted ZR-1? Many things are made to haul things... such a vehicle is made to haul a$$ :)

    Uhmmm - because a Porsche 928 (which looked a lot like an AMC Pacer), could probably actually be improved by such a thing.

    Although this looks to be reasonably well done, almost every ZR-1 owner I post with thinks it is akin to making a spyder out of a Testarossa. BTW, nobody knows if it was a real ZR-1 or just had a badge applied.

    Doubt it's a real ZR-1. Probably just stuck a badge on it.

    Did you know that the factory did produce a few El Camino's with the LS-6 motor and M-22 ?

    Very cool but needs a tonneau cover and someone needs to spray the wheels with "Bling Be Gone".

    More practical than the Corvette station wagons made in the 70's, equally as repulsive.

    this is what El Camino owners buy when they win the lottery!

    could the B-pillar be any more clumsily designed/installed? awful.

    I wonder if he is going to get a spray-on bedliner and a gunrack for the window?

    I think it's rather cool. It's good for a shop truck or customer service vehicle. They make 40K vettes a year so it's not like you're drawing a moustache on the Mona Lisa or anything.

    It couldn't possibly rattle more than the wife's old SL55.

    Actually it might be a real one. It is hard to tell but on each side of the license plate there are two black spacers and then the reverse parking lights. They had to add the black spacers to compensate for the extra width that the ZR-1 had over normal vettes.

    It'd sure get those bails of pine straw home quickly.
