The Extra-Terrestrial Vehicle or ETV -we’re not even kidding, that’s the car’s official name- is a futuristic-looking custom build created by Mike Vetter and his Florida-based company, ‘The Car Factory’. It’s hard to believe it just by looking at the ETV, but underneath that sci-fi outfit you’ll find a Chevrolet Aveo stripped out of its body but not its heart.
EVT Chevrolet AveoMike, who also works on Carrera GT replica bodies for the Porsche Boxster, claims on his website that buyers can opt either for an Aveo or a Boxster donor car. Somehow though, we find it hard to believe that anyone would give up a Porsche, no matter how many thousands of time they’ve seen Captain Kirk and Spock fighting off intruders from other planets.
But even in the case that the Chevy Aveo is the donor car, the ETV will most likely alienate you with its ‘out of this world’ price. We discovered that the Florida-based company has listed a completed ETV on eBay with a ‘Buy it Now’ price of just… $86,000. Cool but not $86k cool.
