not as bad as others i have seen but still......

so its no wonder this country has gone off track! Not for Free!

 

You should of put a warning on that link i just got done eating. I about lost my dinner.

 

I like that made up VIN. It has 17 digets for some odd reason.

 

good eye. i wonder what that is all about.

 

Gross!! I can't stand to see these cars all jacked up so they can put some gosh awful rims on. 6 cyl? There's a first for the '72, okay lets take out the V8 and put in a 6, nice. With that bogus vin, I can't tell if it came with a 455 or 350?? Oh well who cares I don't see this car bringing $14,500.00 anyway. IMO.

 

it may have had a 6 cylinder originally. at least i know you could get the 6 cylinder in 70. was it gone by 72?

 

I doubt there is a 6 cyl in it anyway. It does have dual exhaust on it after all. And besides just looking at the car I have a feeling that tells me it has a Chevy lump in it.

 

The inline six was discontinued for the 72 lineup totally.

 

If that car wasn't about 6 hours away, I might have to go check it out and drink as much orange kool-aid as I can on the way. See if I can rowlf a matching puddle on the groud after seeing it in person.

Honestly, I don't understand the attraction in doing this to a car. If it was jacked up on a 4x4 frame and set up for muddin, that's one thing, but how in the world do you even set up a suspension to DO that to a vehicle. At the very least, it would require replacing the front control arms, springs, spindles, brake lines (and brakes??) and the steering linkage just to get it on a sprung suspension and steerable, and something similar with the rear suspension arms to relocate the rear axle once the travel has well exceeded the factory limits, and much longer springs as well, and how in the world do you keep springs of that length from popping loose on every pothole. I know jacked up 4x4 trucks will kick a spring out from that kind of lift kit pretty easily.

*boggle* I guess it takes all kinds, but if that's someone's dream car, I suspect their mother had a lot of controlled substances during their pregnancy. *cough*LSD*cough*

Whoever did it seemed to have spared no expense in the detail work, but wow. what in the world do you do with something like that???

 

Not as bad??? Man, you must hang with a TOUGH bunch of blind and outta touch DONKey Kong mechanix!

Actually I believe that particular car was built by a craftsman whose last name is Lee, although he goes by his first name mostly. Friends call him 'Ug'.

 

If I bought that car, I'd be able to hang out with the cool kids.

 

Oh the horror, the horror!

 

This is not a donk with a out a big block it is just a dork

 

I think the proper expression here would be....OH, the humanity...the humanity. One good thing about the car, if I was crossing the street and was going to hit by any car, I hope it's one like this.

 

JUST WOW!!! The only vehicles that should be that big are TRUCKS!!!!! this is just DISPICABLE!!!! I am not racist but whoever did this MUST have been.......BLACK!

 

Actually, the 2G1WU583781198305 VIN decodes as follows:

2 = Canadian built
G = General Motors
1 = Chevrolet Division

The rest of it doesn't make much sense. The tenth character should be the year, but the year should be a letter in this VIN, not a number. If we assume the "8" is really a "B", that would indicate the 1981 model year, but if so, the rest of the VIN doesn't make much sense. The fourth character (W) should be the restraint type, but the only choices would be A, B, or C. The fifth character should be the model type, but again there is no "U" that year. If the VIN is copied wrong and the "W" should be the fifth character, that would be a Malibu Classic. Positions 6 and 7 are the body type, and "58" would indicate a four door notchback, which is consistent with a Malibu that year. The eight character is the engine, and "3" would indicate a 3.8 liter 4bbl motor.

I don't know if this car has been mounted on a different chassis, but clearly that VIN doesn't go with a 72 Supreme.

I wonder if headers fit it now???

 

i'll bet that OAI hood make that 6 cyl. scream!

 

Isn't that car missing a skittles,kit kat or kool aid logo on the side?

 

somebody just dumped 15k of custom parts and made a piece of **** HAHAHAHA

6 cyclinder engine is the icing on the cake.

 

What do you say to the owner of this car when he shows up at a car show? "Uh, sir, the show your looking for is down the street...try the dollar general parking lot"

 

Hit?? OH I get it, you mean if it drove over top of you. Your head wouldn't even touch the frame???? Not suggesting that you are short

Yeah " Arrrrrgghhhhhh, HELP ME!!!"

 

Well today, 5'10" is short. There are some 14 year olds on my son's football team that are as tall or taller than me.

 

I know the feeling. Graeme is only 16 and is already 6'3''. He'll probably be around 6'5" when he's done. He already calls me "little Dad". But I can still take him in an armwrestle! He may be smarter than me but, oh wait, let's not go there. Hope your day is going well. Are you prepared for any DONK Olds that may show up at the RR? You could test for clearance - in person

 

At least it is easy to change the oil?

 

JUST PLAIN SCARY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And to think somebody LIKES IT !!!!

 

I just threw up in my mouth!!!!

 

I don't get the attraction of doing this to a car. More money than sense.

Here's another one, albeit not nearly the amount of money thrown away.

Slightly less nausea inducing, and not lifted, but still, I can't believe the front wheels have room to turn w/o rubbing the crap out of everything.

Im not a fan of it but different strokes for different folks..........Im sure some of the older generation on this forums wouldnt approve of some of the things I would like to do with my car.

 

one word....FUGLY.

 

Wow....Why.... I need the hood though.

 

Yup. You know what would be interesting? If people took pics of the most embarrassing aspects of their own cars (shoddy workmanship, rust, or other imperfections) and then posted them, opening themselves up to ridicule.

Of course this only would apply to those who don't have PERFECT cars.

 

I would do that, but I'd probably get tossed out on my ear, as the ones I'd be posting aren't Oldsmobiles. And I have plenty of laughable material. My 85 GTI has at least 14 cars that went into it over the last 15+ years.

I wish I had some pictures of the "Rubik's cube" that a buddy built many years ago. It was a rabbit with EVERY unboltable body panel replaced with one of a different color off another car. Talk about a head-turner and/or cop-bait.
