There's a 123 body under there....Somewhere!
 
Don't know if this is real or not. It might even be some crazy photoshop. If it's real, it looks like there's some crazy rear-steer system under it.

I bet it doesn't have a 616 in it!!

All I have to say is, Why?

I guess because you can.

Looks like a rolling parts shelf. I see plenty of parts for other stock cars on there. :D

pawoSD 01-29-2006 06:58 PM

I wonder what engine it has, and, what the accompanying mileage is? :eek:

I saw that show also and if I remember correctly it has the 617 in it. I couldn't believe it at first then I saw the guy driving it around. I think it was on John Ratzenburger's(sp?) show, can't think of the name right now. It really does drive, though.

Wow, and I thought I had too much time on my hands. :eek:

Kinda looks like the german version of the Ghost Busters car.

Why does that remind me of the "Family Truckster" from National Lampoon's Vacation?

wohoooooo!
 
that is w wild one.

the rear may actually act as casters with a passive steer setup. it wouldnt be really good but it would work ok as long as all you do is putts around. with all that aero drag he isnt going to be going all that fast anyway.

i can hear it now.....

"jerry, if you dont clear out that garage, barn and basement, i am going to leave you!!!!"....jerry: "ok honey, i have a really great idea..."

four months later, .....this,

thanks for sharing.

i once saw an old van covered in indoor outdoor carpeting. the entire body outside.

once on the freeway coming from detroit to kalamazoo, i came up on a middle aged man on a harley which i could only compare to this car, except it was all about lights. he had about a hundred on the front and a hundred on the back and tail pipes that swept up and ended in flattened trumpets that were about waist high. he wasnt going really fast but he was looking very happy! it was so hideous it was fun. even though it was absoulutely the last thing i would ever want to do to an innocent machine i gave him a thumbs up just for audacity and effort.
