Questionable modifications: pictures inside!

[Northstar]

Not sure if this has been in here before, but judging by the plate and hood decal, at least they know what they've got.

It’s been posted several times. IIRC it’s a prop from a cell phone commercial.

I want to say it was Boost Mobile

it would have fit right into the VW "Unpimp your auto" commercials too

Oh it says "poser"! I thought it said something else.

Then again I wasn't looking all too closely either...

I won't hotlink the pictures so no one dies from a heart attack from the shock. It also claims to have twin turbos, but I can't find any.

Same dealer also has one of those, but that's a lot more common.

Granted this is no guarantee, but I believe I detect an intercooler.

I have to wonder, though, how they can get away with calling it that in the header. I know they're not trying to pull a fast one because the description reveals the dirty little secret [that nobody didn't know], but it still rubs me as a bit sleazy.

Out of all those pickup converted vehicles, I enjoy the Continental and the Charger, mainly due to craftmanship quality. The Charger looks like it contains elements from a Dodge Caravan, and they seem to fit *nicely. The Continental, while having barely any finishes, looks well done in terms of bodywork. Nothing is out of place, except for the additional axle; could've done without that. The others just remind me of HotWheels (that S10 is just pitiful and that Infiniti is hideous).

*given the configuration of this vehicle. It doesn't look 'shoddy' or Photoshopped.

Close enough

The stock LS1 plastic intake manifold kind of gives it away, even if there's actually a turbo kit hidden somewhere in that engine bay, there's no way it'll ever make enough power to get to the 230mph they claim it can do. I get the feeling they looked up the specs of an S7TT and just copy/pasted the whole lot. Quite sleazy.

That "F40" looks sad. Also I find the steering wheel's massive Ferrari emblem to be hilarious.

They still haven't sold that thing, it's been on sale for atleast 2 years at that dealership.

Edit- it was at $64K in 2016 and has been registered in 5 states https://www.vehiclehistory.com/paging-vin-report-data/new-report-wva.php?vin=1G1YY12S725104452

Don't know what to think of this one... an SVX with a Legacy front. @SVX you may want to cover your eyes...

How many different cars is that? I see Mercury interior and Chevy Lumina exterior, but no idea what that middle bit was, unless that was also Mercury. I have to say that the bodywork of the hood to the front fenders is surprisingly well done. The front still looks hideous though. Couldn't they at least have shined up the headlights?

Yet another in the world of the lifted Bro Truck.

Quite long post, with some low-res pictures

I need this right now.

I'm not an atheist, but this is too much.

Spoiler: Some more questionables

Shocking.

This is actually real.

Does this count?

Despite I don't like the Opel Tigra, this isn't that bad

 

[Fastcarguy]

The engine bay of this car.

I see nothing even remotely questionable here. Maybe I would pant it all one color, but its still awesome.

To be fair to this (aside from noting it looks very well crafted), pillbug late 40s/early 50s styling is what GM was seemingly going after with their output at the time anyway, outside of the greyhound Seville and Eldorado.

Much downforce on a fwd Hyundai
