Mad Max Perentti Corvette - Fury Road

Australian automotive history is riddled with chapters that defy logic and baffle the minds of Americans. Take, for instance, the enigmatic Perentti. Since the Corvette wasn't shipped to Australia and was limited to left-hand drive, a group of rebels at Custom Performance Modification in Sydney hatched a plan to graft a fiberglass replica of the C3 Corvette's body onto a Holden one-ton truck chassis. However, because the truck stretched 22 inches beyond the real Corvette and boasted a 120-inch wheelbase, the outcome was a bizarre amalgamation of proportions. It's an oddity that's both captivating and absurd. For filmmakers, though, a Corvette built on a sturdy truck frame offers several perks. Thus, Buggy #9 was born as a last-ditch Vette careening through chaos while consuming a handful of meth. This cinematic contraption is likely to leave many North American car enthusiasts scratching their heads in confusion.
