If there’s one thing the purist Chevrolet Corvette fandom world knows what not to do, it’s this: swap out the Vette’s V8 in favor of one from a rival brand. Especially Ford. It’s just one of those things that should never be done, along with swapping a Camaro’s V8 for a Mustang’s. But not everyone is a purist. Some like to break the rules because there’s no law in place stating they can’t.
Case in point: this 1976 C3 Corvette monster truck powered by a Ford V8. Like what you see? If so, you should know it’s currently up for sale on Facebook for $9,000, or best offer. The Ford-sourced V8 is paired to a transmission from a C6 Corvette, and that’s just the start of the modifications.
Its regular street tires have been swapped out for massive monster truck rubber that can handle any type of terrain. There’s also a 12-inch drop transfer case that sends power to the 2.5-ton axles.
There are child-size coilovers at each wheel, too. Sure, this thing will easily drive through water, just don’t expect to stay dry because the interior isn’t waterproof.
