To each their own...I'd say the whole package is a pass for me

Jamesbo · February 28th, 2009, 02:03 PM

Not my cup of tea,

But hey, That's why they have horse races. People like different horses.

I believe I'll go back and look for the water fall.

Olds64 · February 28th, 2009, 02:36 PM

That car reminds me of one of those orange/cream popsicles you can buy from the ice cream man.

csstrux · February 28th, 2009, 03:14 PM

That reminds me of an orange creamcicle that I regurgitated

Reminds me of the wagon that the ice cream man was using back at the circus....

wolfman98 · February 28th, 2009, 05:10 PM

Them is the ugliest wheels I have seen on any car , can't say much for the paint job

citcapp · February 28th, 2009, 06:24 PM

He stole the wheels of a old tractor and painted it cab orange (used to be a white car and he ran out of orange paint)

csstrux · February 28th, 2009, 07:52 PM

The sad thing is, the workmanship does not seem to be lacking...just taste.

442much · February 28th, 2009, 08:31 PM

Nice car for someone who's into that. Just not my taste.

hamm36 · February 28th, 2009, 11:02 PM

Can that be called Pee Orange - in contrast to Pee Green ?

Yo - yo, what's up G-string ?

88 coupe · March 1st, 2009, 03:19 AM

Classic example of a Cutty.

csstrux · March 1st, 2009, 04:23 AM

I always thought the term was hoopty

Bluevista · March 1st, 2009, 04:31 AM

Those wheels aren't too big, the car's too small.

Reminds me of a Gerber creamed carrot baby food and milk color, had plenty of that spewed on me. I hate it when your burping them and they look you right in the eyes and let out a big burp and it projectiles right into your face.

Not as much as that car though.

csstrux · March 3rd, 2009, 06:23 PM

You think thats bad. I saw on stupidist home videos grandma was holding the baby over her head, cooing at it. I'm sure you can guess where this is going.Spilled not one drop. smilies arent working or I'd have thrown a few in. t hee hee.

OLD SKL 69 · March 3rd, 2009, 09:08 PM

Not what I would like either. Sad thing is that he has a lot more than 12,500 into it.

Big Blue 72 · March 4th, 2009, 12:14 AM

Some people's taste resides solely in their mouth... It reminds me of something that Ronald McDonald would drive. Or maybe the Hamburglar?

Jokers69 · March 4th, 2009, 06:03 AM

hmmm... just how many clowns can fit in a 1971 Cutlass..

at least it's not all hacked up and can be saved if someone has the compassion.. not to mention the $$.

Oldsguy · March 4th, 2009, 06:14 AM

I think that is a good example of what is called a "Donk". As was mentioned, looks well done, from the photo anyway, just way out of range for the taste of most of us here at this site.

Lady72nRob71 · March 4th, 2009, 06:41 AM

The factory wheels would be the best way to improve the looks, and the value of that poor car...

wolfman98 · March 4th, 2009, 08:47 AM

It would not take too much to save the car. New wheels and paint the orange a different color , depends on the interior. I hate to see what he did to that.

Just what the heck is a "Donk?" I've seen the expression on another [probably more youthful board]

something only oldsguy can answer?... or maybe not

Curios as to where the work donk came from since it does not show up in any of my dictionaries. the closest I came was dank.

Cameo White · March 4th, 2009, 08:26 PM

I saw on a another board that "Donk" comes from the cheap end of the GM line. Seems they first started hanging the 22's and lifting the modern Impala. Somehow the Impala on the emblem got converted to donkey and then shortened to donk. Now that term is just applied in general to cars so altered.

wolfman98 · March 4th, 2009, 08:33 PM

seems to make sense. I had a 66 impala SS 325 hsp 327 with the 2 speed glide She was not all that fast as it could have used a big block , god knows there was enough room for one.

citcapp · March 4th, 2009, 08:35 PM

How about these wheels, bigger is better right. Click on image for more

csstrux · March 4th, 2009, 11:14 PM

Thats just beyond tacky. too bad there isn't a vomit emoticon

wolfman98 · March 5th, 2009, 07:46 AM

x2 on being tacky , I am sure that it is not street legal. At least here it would not be. Hey I have an extra set of tractor tires , I wonder what that would look like

convert it into a monster Olds

OLD SKL 69 · March 5th, 2009, 10:49 PM

How the heck do you get up there? Is it Shaq's car because I can't think of anyone tall enough to climb in without a ladder!

so you guyzzzz don like my ride?

"Restored" 71 Cutlass with a 454?

The entire car, well I have to add a new smile, just for this car:

#1CutlassSupreme · March 6th, 2009, 03:24 PM

I can't tell if that is a Cutlass or a ride at Disneyland!

citcapp · March 6th, 2009, 06:51 PM

The others are sharp. but jacking a car up into the stratosphere, to get some cheesie wheels on it isn't for me. They serve no purpose and are, from a technical stance counterproductive. Esthetically they throw off the proportions and lines of the car.

In the first post of that thread he gives a link to a video. I watched it and not all the cars are that bad. At about 24 seconds there is a white car with modified full fender skirts that have blue waves painted on them. Not a fan of the treatment of that car but I recognize it. I think it was a '39 or '40 Graham "shark nose". I'll try to find an unmolested one to show how they used to look.
