I was always told, "If I can't say nothin' nice".......!

abebummy26 · 01-27-2008, 02:14 PM

The yugo is more useful than it was new anyways with the pressed on oil pan.

earl87gta · 01-27-2008, 02:38 PM

Whne I lived in Nc the guy that dug my pond out had bought Hulk Hoggans 4x4 trans AM from him he kept it in side and never drove it any where.

That's something that was real popular for a while. From the looks of most of those pics I'd say those cars were built during that era. Some of them are rolling death rigs and some of them are pretty well built. ...... I couldn't say as to whether I would own one or not. It would really have to be priced right.

I shot this car at the Turkey Run this past year. The fellers was standin round eatin baloney sammiches! Car was way clean too.

This bug was just way to nice to do something like this to it.

The bug actually looks cool!!

Chris27 · 01-28-2008, 01:57 AM

That guy with the split window vette is probably kicking himself now!!

shilo · 01-28-2008, 04:11 AM

Here's a few rigs recently seen at the Moyie Mud Bog in N. Idaho. Obviously all built for fun and not to be taken seriously, like some of those other "interesting" show car/truck/things?

Mortis the 6WD Hearse.
Bugzilla.(aka Herbie on Steriods)
MudCuda?

bad_turbo · 01-28-2008, 08:30 AM

I don't mind them if they are done right and look nice.

I can see an Elcamino being a 4x4, wish GM had done some factory, that would have been pretty cool.

cobinder · 01-28-2008, 11:06 PM

How sharp is the guy who hacked up a Deloran. With the money lost he could'a had a real truck

bowtier · 01-29-2008, 09:12 PM

Well, now I have a reason to post my "new" DD.

1986 AMC Eagle, only pic I have so far. It's a hunk of junk, but don't get me wrong, it goes like a tank. But it also goes through almost as much oil as gas.

Hey, it came with a good parts car & a new inpection for $1000. Gimmie a break.

msgross · 01-29-2008, 10:25 PM

and the question is...

what do rednecks do when they are bored?

70rs/ss · 01-30-2008, 04:54 AM

All's I can say is a least not too many "GOOD" cars were hurt in the filming of this thread. A vette, C'mon and a cuda and a charger, other than that, who cares, a yugo?!

shelby987 · 01-30-2008, 07:23 AM

It is always a shame to see first gen. camaros, a SPLIT WINDOW VETTE, a couple of nice chargers/cudas, and even a nice mustang or two end up like this......plus, it seems half of them end up on perfectly good blazer frames! (that is a double waste in my book).
BUT......it's not my money, it's not my time, and it's not my life on the line in a shody built one.....soo......too each his own!

I did always think those bugs made nice little baja rigs though!

I guess in defense of some of these rides, they were done before Barrett Jackson came along. The vette, cuda, chargers, etc, could be returned back. I doubt that these are shoddy or anymore dangerous than a truck body on them, as car or truck still just bolts onto the frame? Buy a vette X4 and make a vette out of it, that 63 is worth fixing (undoing!) To each thier own?

topdog · 01-31-2008, 07:44 AM

What a terrible thing to do to a split window vette.
