Fun work project - old display model Vette

[OldNYJim]

I love when I get to do car stuff as part of my usual work…this is, apparently, some kind of display model Vette that was designed to be mounted to the roof of a Chevy dealer, or possibly to a sign:

It has a specially fabricated square tube steel frame underneath that allows it to be mounted to a whatever with a match-plate.  No axles under there, or motor or trans…kinda an interesting piece!  Not much of anything under body - interior is somewhat complete…it DOES have carpet in the trunk for some reason.  

I’d love to find out if there’s a bunch of these, or what it’s story is…

That looks like a 1:1 scale slammer class model.

I've seen this pic on IG somewhere recently, like in the last day or so.

And of course, there is outrage that anyone could let a classic Corvette be touched by snow.

If they think it's real, they'd be more upset about the lack of a windshield, the painted trim pieces, and the "clocked" headlamps.

It’s not like it’s gonna rust.🙄

Ahh - I did post it as a story on there,  I may not have been the only one, ha!

Yeah…the snow’s not doing this thing any harm 😂

That is really cool! Great story as well, all I could think of was a go cart engine. Or a nice electric motor.
