Questionable modifications: pictures inside!

[niky]

Maybe obscure is a poor choice of words... uncared for? Unremarkable? Anonymous? As a former 626er, I still smile whenever I see one... but they're few and far between.

Which is good... because it means very few are ruined in an attempt to make them into showcars. Thank Dio.

And no car has yet matched my 626's best feature: them cool rotating air vents. Well... new Jags have swivel-up air vents that activate when you turn on the car, but it's not the same...

This is questionable in all the right ways:

 

[motortrend]

Is that a rear door?

I'm just wondering about his third hand

 

[Tornado]

That has to be the scariest damn thing ever to drive at highway speeds.

I think it's awesome. Great craftsmanship too. I'm sure it would be a great city car!

 

[Jim Prower]

Well, if you raise it and throw some tubular steel on it...

I see this pretty much everyday when i'm at college. Me and my friends always point and laugh, especially when he does the obligatory ricer fly-bys.

 

[Prince.M5]

That livery looks familiar to me.. I don't like ricers.

EDIT: Got it, Brian's Nissan GTR in 2 Fast 2 Furious...

amazingly, you are not in Mexico. I thought someone got a picture of one of the bazillion local cars that are STILL painted like that.

Freaking country trapped in 1998

A guy on digitalcorvettes.com made a thread to ask anyone if they knew where his first Corvette is. The car is questionable. REALLY questionable. But still awesome. The owner\creator of this car tell his story in this thread : http://www.digitalcorvettes.com/forums/showthread.php?t=146438&highlight=overdrive

It is\was a 1972 Corvette customized in the early seventies. The car was actually black with gold metal flakes in the paint.

That's what goldmember(character from austin power movie) would drive, but other than that I would take everything off and put it into a regular stingray and then drive it.

Otherwise it's just a person who likes shiny stuff.

 

[Cano]

that car is absolutely, awesomely spot-on in that it represents perfectly the era it was customized in. If I found it I would not touch ANYTHING in the car and just drive it as is, psychodelic garish vibe and all. Heck, the taillights and rear window modification to make it a "boattail" of sorts are aaaawesome. and those valve covers!!!

such 70's bad taste cannot be replicated today, it was the real deal, and for that it is awesome. I'd love to have such a horrible car just to blow the mind of the "good taste" crowds of today... and I know someone out there would "get it" and find it awesome too.

Edit: 13.75:1 big block. Oh, yeah.

 

[exigeracer]

This is absolutely preposterous:

 

[sumbrownkid]

Well, if you raise it and throw some tubular steel on it...

I would award this car the GT award at SEMA if I was Kaz and that guy showed up in the parking lot with that.

 

[SipnDzl]

This is absolutely preposterous:

Pure Awesomeness!👍

 

[Joey D]

Questionable, yet oddly awesome

 

[motortrend]

^Probably some kind of wrap, looks kinda cool, kinda suits it

 

[Muzaffar]

If the mini above was dropped onto deep offset gold rims and it would've been perfect! 👍

 

[Jim Prower]

Red Green does it again. To a Honda Civic.

But not a Rednieck Ricer. No...He turns it into an amphibious megatruck. What'd you expect? A wing?

I think the 360 has been posted here before but not the others.

Found this in the comments of the qotd on Jalopnik. I hate 5.0...

Be-careful, this picture is laaaaarge!

http://image14.webshots.com/14/2/42/33/353624233QpLNiv_fs.jpg

So basically, it's a Honda Civic but this fella just turned it into a Pinky CLivic!

EDIT: Something wasn't right with the picture...

 

[Sniffs]

you guys should really be submitting some of these TO "that will buff out", as well as pulling from that site.

No warp. I read an article about the company.
It's real gold.
It costs a fortune, they also do it in platinium.
It's an english company.

Well there's some money well spent...

it is very questionable indeed, but it can't be denied that they are incredibly well made. The Murcielago replica is flawless.
