I just found these pictures taken in 2001 when I was driving back from seeing a customer in Dyersburg TN, North of Memphis, saw this from the road and had to stop and take a couple pictures. Any guesses what he was going for here? TZ
I just p***ed through Dyersburg the other day...definitely didn't see anything quite like that!! Personally, I think he was trying to elicit as many "WTF?" kind of responses as he could. Why else would you think that thing was a good idea?
[ QUOTE ] my guess would be 53 corvette front and rear [/ QUOTE ] And throw in some El Matador trunk details for good measure. I wonder if it was going to be chopped later, it's got all the other most difficult body mods already done.
i have dreamed of such a car ,then i realized it was a nightmare,ok sorry,lots of cars from the 50's mags had a do it your self roadster or coupe and you had to hunt down about 8 cars to chop up and build the one in the magazine,i like it though
I kinda like it. It is different than anything on the road. It one of those kustoms that everyone trashes but secretly lusts for.
That little ******* is cool as hell.....top needs a chop and the rear fins need a little work but its pretty damn neat. The fins remind me of the 1954 pontiac bonneville special showcar... Greg
I have some pics of that car somewhere around here. I lived near D-burg several years ago when that thing was sitting on the side of the highway. Went through a couple of years ago and it wasn't there anymore. He told me the car had come to Tennessee from Kansas. Aparently the work was done out there. JH

[ QUOTE ] Any guesses what he was going for here? TZ [/ QUOTE ] I think he was trying to invoke the devil. That is THE ugliest abortion I have seen yet, and to think it started out as one of the worlds most beautiful cars.
