True story.

1983 I was in high school and a friend of mines parents had recently divorced. Well his momma hooked up with some redneck/white trash and somehow he talked her in to letting him turn her 1977 Trans Am into a roundy-rounder racer.

That guy must have had an 11" tongue and the ability to breath through his ears.

After a month on the track that car was trashed.

-i saw a mustang ii in a demolition just a year ago

-my dad tells me stories of using the deck lid on a hemi dart to spread gravel at his newly constructed car dealership in the 80's

-saw a 60's cougar jumped over some dirt ramp into a mud pit and left there....

and lastly there is a gremlin wrapped around a tree (my dad did that) rusting away in the woods at my grand dads house, but who cares about that....

That thing could have been like that since the 80's when a lot of the muscle cars were ignored and discarded. Most didn't want them because they always broke down and they looked old and outdated, a perfect reason to ****** it up and convert it into something like this one.

Well,
Since this turned into something else


Back in the early 80's my uncles used to have a Studebaker pick-up truck they used as a snow plow truck.

They also had a early model Chevy tow truck like from the 50's.

When I was younger we used a fiberglass late 60's Buick GTX hood as a bicycle ramp for jumping. lol

You could still rebuild it, it would make a sick drag car, or a hell of a street sleeper, just put the glass back in, and get rid of the stupid roundy round stuff.

My coupe was just about to get chopped up into a drag car. Saved it just in time. Looks like it is too late for that one.
