Roadside Find: Real 1966 Corvette 4×4 Trar
By Brian Lohnes
BangShift.com
On a recent trip back to Texas, the parental units pointed out this well done 1966 Corvette 4×4 conversion. More often called a trar (truck/car), this particular homogenization is still more 1966 Corvette than not. While trars are usually made by placing some unsuspecting car on top of a Chevy Blazer or Ford Bronco chassis, this Corvette is so such beast. Starting with a real 1966 Chevrolet Corvette, the running gear, which includes 1-ton axles, was mounted to the stock Corvette chassis.This is southern engineering at its finest.

I bet the owner wishes he could go back in time and not do that 4X4 upgrade.

ILLY-sase “But I think this ride has a purpose”
i can agree with that because what would be the point of 30 in rims?

This is pretty much the same as a Donk right? Just has more tires then rim. DJEZ016 u made a real good point I think because if you take the same car and sit it on a set of 28inch TIS’s, then the N-word is used. I bet it is fun to drive and more then likely ride just like a Donk.

Very good point DJEZ016. I’ve noticed that also. If it’s a Car with 22″s or more out come all the racist slander. N-word this and N-word that. But every time I see a 4×4 done like this the slander is pretty vacant. …Hmmmm I wonder why. But I think this ride has a purpose and honestly I’d bet its fun as hell to drive.

damn white people always messin up cars why cant they be more like regular people and put 28s on it…….sarcasm clearly but do see what im saying if it was on 28s its a dumb ass n****r car but if it has a 4×4 setup its “awesome” but in my opinion it would but stupid as a 4×4 or on 32s lol

I’m not gonna lie… I would TOTALLY Drive that… Don’t get me wrong, I would NEVER EVER build it… but I WOULD drive it None-the-less! And let’s be realistic here… It takes someone special to build something like that, but if you say you would NEVER drive that… Your lying to yourself because YOU KNOW good and well if you had the chance you would drive it, if nothing else but for the pure undiluted hell of it! When else could you say you went Mud-Runnin in a Vette?!… Uh, Huh… Thought so.

Dang this isn’t bad at all for the owner. I wouldn’t do a 4×4 on any car, just a truck.

o and by the way lambo doors are good…..ON A LAMBO lol they used to be kinda cool when you couldnt buy a kit to make anything from a pinto to a festiva have lambo doors. i think in alot of cases they probably get in the way more then anything when installed on a domestic car but most people are too foolsh and embarassed at the money they blew having them installed lol dont follow trends, do your own thing, just cause all your friends do it doesnt make it cool!

i’m not a huge fan of the whole put a rare and valuable car on a 4×4 rack but to each his own, there are several of these in north carolina from a 59 el camino on 38′s to a 64 impala on 44′s. i dont understand why you would waste good cars like that but if we all like the same thing the world would be boring.

Hey….Chill nickBlazer. I have a real ride link but the login to comment has been giving out random numbers…Dunno why….but there ya go.
This Vette thing is pretty cool. Wish there were pictures of the front, but I guess the point is to see the Redneck name on the ass end.
Yeah that Camaro with the lambo doors is just a bit too soon. Lambo doors used to be cool. Thing is I saw a run down resturaunt downtown with lambo screen doors.
Oh….Nick….check Ledzeppelin, or Stitch. Yeah thats my stupid little Saturn…(its not really stupid…)

1887453 —if you had a ride— maybe you’d understand lambo doors can be really useful for sports cars with very long doors. Grow up and stop your hating.
P.S. its almost impossible to make the new Camaro look bad.
