wow.....butt and ugly don't even come close to describing this piece of....art

 

What? No Yugo parts?

 

am sorry to see he used some olds parts.

 

That thing belongs in a crusher.

 

The Aztek is back!

 

i thought maybe it was the new batmobile!

 

Only $25K? His phone must be ringing off the hook.

 

I wonder how many clowns it could hold at the circus...A bunch I bet beings it was built as a specialty clown car.... Tedd

 

He must have been on a LSD trip when he built it!

 

Well, It's a '49, '50, '51, '52, '53, '54, '55, '56
'57, '58' 59' automobile
It's a '60, '61, '62, '63, '64, '65, '66, '67
'68, '69, '70 automobile.

 

What's with the negatives. It was done because it could be done but wasn't easy. It would turn heads at any custom car show.
Is it pretty? - Nope.
Is it practical? - Nope.
Will it be a headache to keep running, register, attract derision and respect wherever it goes?, Yep.

Is it worth $25000?. maybe to someone. If not it won't sell. One mans art is another mans junk.

One thing it definitely is, a unique creation.

Roger.

 

different rims would help

 

Looks like the builder's hero was probably George Barris.

 

That was my second thought, my first was "It looks like a giant roach getting ready for flight.

 

26" wire spokes?

 

I do like the 85 Seville trunk lid. Being a 1985 Seville owner besides a 1987 Cutlass owner. I just like the smooth lazy ride sometimes. The Avalon is my girls car.

 

If he would remove one of those zeros from the price I bet it would sell.

 

 

The crusher said, "NO THANK YOU"...

 

10. Pinto Fuel Tank

All someone has to do is hit it in the back and it's all over.

 

All it needs now is some stripes!

]

 

I was thinking flames!

 

from the back forward!!beings it has a pinto tank

 

Of course! W-36 stripes.

 

How would you know if the strips are in the correct place? I have been trying to call all day and it is always busy. Phone is probably off the hood because he sold the car to the first caller.

 

J J Best advertise that they make loans on Classic and Specialty cars ,but I am not planning to fill out a loan request.I do not have a Classic or Specialty car at present, but I believe I had rather do without, at the present time. Larry

 

Put that in front of your business, and it'll get you traffic

 

I read the ad. It says "no main body" but also "no custom parts" but then it does not list what the tub is. I couldn't see what it is all the body parts are actually bolted to.

 

....all that and he used an 'exploding' Pinto gas tank. lol

 

Is the gas tank right at the back end of the car, like the ill fated Fords?.

Roger.

 

News flash: probably 90% of the Oldsmobiles owned by members here have the gas tank in the same place. Just sayin...

 

So.... is it 1 of 1, or 1 of 28?

If he has titles and history for all 28 vehicles, is that provenance? Trim plate may be hard to identify, I dunno...

 

says 82 cadillac suspension.could he mean frame and suspension

 

So were the Mustangs but that never seemed to make it out there to "G-pop". More of them went up due to rear impacts than Pinto's. Why do you think that was never mentioned, possibly because it was there best seller?

 

The Pinto became notorious because of the class action lawsuit. Thank the lawyers. Ford certainly didn't pick this.

FYI, Ford sold about three times as many Pintos during the mid-70s than they did Mustang IIs. Try again with the conspiracy theories.

 

 

pinto was a hatch back, when it got whacked in the rear there is nothing separating the trunk area from the cabin, unlike the mustang .
The way the pinto folded the tank went above the rear end as it got pushed forward.. and held in with straps, the mustang was bolted in, and wasn't much holding it in place.
