Street-Legal Pirate Ships

Denver DIYers Turn a Chevy Truck Into a Mobile Party Schooner

We don't see street-legal pirate ships too often in San Diego, but Denver-based Jalopnik reader Cadillac Bob spotted this Chevy truck-based schooner outside of a local bar. There aren't any details as to the specifications of the modified car or how it was built, but gearheads can take a look at the engine and driver seat in the gallery above.

Would you drive one of these street-legal pirate ships if you were able?
