A DIY Disaster with Four Wheels
What happens when someone with too much time, too few skills, and a pile of mismatched parts decides to “build a car?” This. The seller says “the original owner built it and put a Dodge motor in it,” which is the automotive equivalent of saying, “I microwaved a steak and called it gourmet.” Whatever this started as, it’s now a horrifying mashup of questionable engineering and garage-sale aerodynamics.
The bodywork looks like it was assembled with a hammer and a grudge, the windshield is apparently structural, and the interior is some unholy fusion of race car and rejected Vegas casino furniture. It “runs and drives,” which is an impressive claim for something that looks like it was cobbled together using Mad Max as a reference guide. The Arizona plate suggests this has actually been on public roads, meaning there are real human beings out there who have witnessed this thing in motion.
Buy Rating: A guaranteed head-turner, but mostly because people will be staring in disbelief. At $3,000, it’s either a laughably cheap custom car or a rolling liability that will leave you stranded and ashamed.

I think he was going for the Herman Munster hot rod look. Missed by a mile. Sometime the execution falls short of the vision.
