The last thing you want after a fun day enjoying the beach is to get stuck in sand. A sensible choice for driving on the beach is a 4WD truck but that doesn’t turn heads. What if you want to make people look twice? Maybe give them the feeling Master Blaster is coming over the next dune. <\/p>\n

Dewey Powell’s 1969 Corvette really fits those requirements. He has owned it 33 years and doesn’t seem eager to sell it anytime soon. In that time he has created a very unique Corvette. The original body was too far gone and was replaced with a 1981 body. Under the hood Dewey swapped a 392 Hemi from a 1958 Chrysler New Yorker. <\/p>\n

The rest of the drivetrain consists of a Turbo 400 transmission, Jeep transfer case, and a 1970’s Cadillac Eldorado FWD unit. In case you are wondering the “front bumper” is a fishing pole holder.<\/p>\n
