In a recent thread, someone mentioned the article on the '64 Vette that was turned into a snowplow, then restored back to "normal"....ya wanna see it? Here it is! They have already removed the plow, and hydraulics at this point, and were only trying to get the goofy bodywerk off.
I can post a pic of the car with the plow on it later...Enjoy!!

Ya, there was a good article about it in the April 2010 issue of "Corvette Magazine". It caught my eye cause it had "C3 Buyer's Guide" on the cover in white letters. Looks like I may have to get a script to this mag!!

I'm tryin to decide who had the crazier vision.....

The feller that said "Hey I think Im gonna turn this vette into a snowplow..."

or

The feller that said "Hey I think Im gonna revive the vette from being a snowplow...."

Nice that it was restored and it looks nice work was done. I wonder what the resale would be with the history and that lil video clip lurking in its past?
