Thats kind of amazing actually. Still has function sort of. Beach roadtrip in that would be fantastic.

It's like a surf board with a windshield. Not proving to be too popular.............with no bids.

That thing is like the 40 year old who comes to pickup up your 15 year old daughter wearing a "free mustache rides" shirt cool.

I kinda like it. I'm surprised there are no bids on it.

There would probably be bids if he hadn't cut the roof off - those old crew cabs are pretty uncommon.

I have to say I approve heartily. It's like a caddy vert that's already built for the hottub.

Three pedals makes it a sports truck. I used to think the older four door pickup were ugly but that one looks sweet.

The only adjectives that come to mind are "ridiculous" and "dog ugly"...

I like it. Buts it's not a convertible, it's a converted.

I like it a lot. If I had a beach house, this would be in the garage... a very big garage but that goes without saying when I have a beach house in my dream!

If a two-seater version is called a roadster pickup, would this not be a phaeton pickup?

That would surely turns heads in northern Michigan spots like Harbor Springs. All you need is a matching 40 year old cigarette boat to go with it.

You could sell that thing for $10-12k in Door County. Easy.

Seems like that would be a great combo when it's a sunny day out and you want to hit the lake.

Other than that it's really specialized and would need a huge garage to keep it in on wet days, I kind of like it.

That would be awesome for the Woodward dream cruise or a parade with a bunch of scantily clad young ladies passing out cold beer to passers buy from a huge ice bucket in the back.
