Know anything about THIS custom??? Crazy..

Guy on a Mopar board found it, for sale, wondered if maybe anyone here knew anything about it at all. It's a weird one...

the other end.

 

dunno anything about it but is it still for sale??? I think it's awesome.

 

ugly...but awesome...i'd buy it.

 

I know that it's an abortion.

And if any of you say you like it...then explain to me why you didn't like that flattened model A??

 

Huge red turd looking thing....

"3--2--1...contact...all crew get ready for flight"

 

i like it because it is hideous in a batman kinda way. the flattened a was just not quite weird enough kinda like a bad haircut on an otherwise decent lookin girl, but this is like "third boob weird" and that is just something I can't ignore.

 

nobody seems to know anything about it...here's the thread:

http://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=Test&Number=1031248&page=2&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=7&fpart=all

I guess it's still for sale, and mostly Mopar based. Guy that owns it claims that it was in a movie.
To me, it kinda looks like a wacky factory dream car gone wrong. I'm not sure when they started using fiberglass, but apparently it's got a lot of it.
I'm surprised you Kustom gurus haven't seen it before...

 

The car may be butt ugly, but I kinda like it. Id definately have to do something with the front end though, its too blunt nosed looking.

Does any one know what it has under the hood for motorvation?

 

Uh calling Major Tom.......

 

I wouldn't be caught fucking Carmen Electra in that thing.

...ah, thats not true.

 

It looks like one of the Chysler trubine cars.

 

I dunno, it kind of looks like an early corvette to me

I wasnt gonna say anything until you said it had alot of fiberglass.

Looks like the hood started life on a 1950 Ford pickup.

 

looks like the base was a '60 Plymouth. Windshield and dash are...

Mutt

 

uhhhhhh......yeah.

 

mmmmm it seems someone was standing tooo close to the exhaust...... that thing is just plain fucking ugly, & this coming from a guy who love ugly cars.. but damn i'd be ashamed to be caught driving it let alone saying i built it.but then to each his own...joe

 

i showed the pics on anothe board & one guy said maybe it started its life as a Kurtis made by The Muntz Car Company....joe

 

Send a picture to barris, they probably have a website & might be able to help ya.

Im 100 percent certain that that thing doesnt have anything to do with Barris.

Also; I dont think it is a kustom in the conventional sence; it looks more like some weird, futuristic "study" like that safety-car with the fugly, balooning windshield (cant remember the name).
