What was this guy thinking?

The 2nd picture from the bottom is my favorite....

What can you say. I have seen worse, but not much worse. Someone has gone to a lot of trouble to build this car. Is it possible that this car could do 150MPH? I seriously doubt it.

Is this a race car...um, no.

This is a fine example of someone building their personal dream car, and then finding out that no one else shares that dream when the time comes to sell it. It's sad on several levels, because regardless of what we think of it, some one has invested a fair amount of time and money in that.

Woah, that'd go for a MINT at Barrett-Jackson! !

Arne,

That is too funny. That car looks a cross between Jonny Holmes Phallus and the Batmobile.I have seen a lot of bastardized cars and Z cars as well but I think that car is in the running for one of the most heinous objects on 4 wheels I have ever seen. That car makes the one with the flames a 1st edition collectors specimen Gold Medallion.

I will tell you what that person was thinking. When he was putting the last coat of paint on he was thinking when he could get to the pharmacy and refill his prescription because the last dose was wearing of. No offense to folks who need a little something to get them through the day. I have often thought that I should get a prescription for some of that stuff.

But seriously it's like me looking in the mirror and seeing Beckham or any one of those other pretty boys that I am not.

I bet she was a beauty in 72.

I second that! :beard:

Yuck.

The burlap dash cover is an interesting addition.

Looks like the tail lights were swapped (upside down)!

Did you see the pink shag carpet in the back??

He did all that stuff to it, but didn't even cover the floor, or clean up the engine (rusted brake fluid covers.) Maybe he was using it for off-road racing? I love that battery hold-hown shim ( the carboard from a fan belt.)

No roll cage either. Maybe he was hoping they would use it in the next 2Fast movie...

There's no hit counter. No bids either. Coincidence?

thx
