Default Monster Garage Turning a '73 454 into an off road vehicle

Looks like our friends at Guldstrand are involved in this, I'm not sure what to think...

There are few shows I watch with any regularity. But I always watch Monster Garage, Monster House, American Chopper, Junkyard Wars, and whenever possible - The Simpsons.

I don't really care for Monster garage.

They take decent rides and turn them into whitetrashed bubba mobiles. :jester Then race them in a senaro which they appear to be better or win. Like the snow mobile that would have lost bad vs the motorcycle. But the rider on the bike slowwed way down.

this must be stopped. Why is dick guldstrand in on this? Also, you would think they would have the sense to destroy a year other than '73, preferably one much newer, like a c 4. '73 is the only year of rubber front and chrome rear. theyre not the easiest thing to find. i know theres plenty of people out there, including myself, who would love to have a '73. Its a shame.

Love the show, but to do that to a vette, and a 454 to boot, that's just not right.

: monster garage is redneck heaven!!!!! :cheers:
If anything, it'll be interesting to see how they go about it. Maybe they'll just take the C3 body and drop it onto a 4x4 frame (they couldn't find a sexier body afterall ;) ), or perhaps they'll add a front axle & transfer case :rolleyes: . While I would never do this to my Corvette, I've already seen enough monsterousitys on the web :leaving: .

Either way I'll be watching and the networks seem to know what 4x4 car will create ratings :D .

Wow, I'm amazed that you aren't as pissed off as the RX7 guys when they blew one up
