Beautiful car. To bad they had to screw it up like that.

I think we are often so stunned by the stupidity of what's been done to a car, that we forget what obnoxious tools the owner's must be to want to be seen in it. Let's take a moment to reflect on the intellect of who does this to a car in the US. Now let's imagine he probably looks/sounds like Paul McCartney imitating the moron who does this in the US.

If the price is in English pounds would equal $21,850 in USD.

I figured it out to be close to $2,500.

I bet there’s some big money into it and I’ll also say that it looks killer in this pic.

"Big block MOPAR fully rebuilt including new crank, con rods, pistons etc, over bored block now running around 6.8 Litre."

Wonder how he managed to shrink the displacement?

If killer means a huge chunk of filler missing at the 1/4 to roof seam, interior lighting by Pep Boys/Satan. And nothing says status like this...

exhaust needs re-aligning due to bashing mid box off manhole cover,

Yuck.

Yeah, I was gonna mention that as well. Sounds like his metrics are off!

 

[78Brougham]

Hopefully his mechanical skills are better than his math skills

Sounds exactly like the guy I'd want cutting up the suspension. Those tires look like they'll last several hundred miles.

Maybe they put in 400 B-engine rods....

I’m not putting it under a microscope just looking at the picture and I like it.

 

[straightarrow]

I’m not a fan either. But my vinyl is starting to pull away, and I wouldn’t mind taking it off and just painting the roof if that’s a possibility

Not only a possibility but mandatory IMHO.

I don't think there's any call for hurling personal insults. I like low-riders. I would absolutely want one and to be seen in one. Someone in England who feels the same is not, by definition a moron or a tool.

I'm thinking maybe it was a 360 then bored out? He's just not familiar with the term big block because they're not used to massive size of our V-8's

I always enjoy your brilliant analyses, Carmine!

I mean if I were going to put fur in my car.... it’d be tiger fur.
