plymouthcranbrook Posted January 2, 2015 Report Posted January 2, 2015 I can certainly see where this statement comes from: "Car show winner. Fun to drive. A hard to find and very rare car" I agree that I have never seen anything like it before. Although I have lead a sheltered life. Quote
deathbound Posted January 2, 2015 Report Posted January 2, 2015 It does come with the RARE VINTAGE NOS faux zebra covered bench seat. Quote
Don Coatney Posted January 2, 2015 Report Posted January 2, 2015 With all them gizmos the car has Bob Toft written all over it. :D Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted January 2, 2015 Report Posted January 2, 2015 (edited) Show winner...what were they judging...MOST RUST or WORSE TRIM...even Bob T. could not mess up a car that bad...that is the whole objective behind a rat rod...drive something that has more junk attached than needed, practical or of good taste..bizarro is operative word here...best part about the rat rods..they make any conservative old car look pristine...

RobertKB Posted January 2, 2015 Report Posted January 2, 2015 and people wonder why I hate "rat rods".... Got that right. It's sitting on a difference frame and drivetrain as stated in the ad. More garbage on it than at the local dump. That could have been a nicely done car as those two door hardtops are in demand. That one is rusty but then so are a lot of old cars that get restored. Why would anyone spend the time, energy, and money to build a piece of crap like that?? Rat rods, to me, give the old car hobby a bad name. 1 Quote
Frank Elder Posted January 3, 2015 Report Posted January 3, 2015 I cannot believe no one has called it a chicken coupe yet....lol. Quote

Plymouthy Adams Posted January 3, 2015 Report Posted January 3, 2015 our most favored American.....Stupid is as Stupid does.. while I cannot justify their approach I can understand it..they seem to want to belong with the old car crowd and also to the hot rod builders at the same time but with no real skilled labor or money invested..and if I am wrong, then that just opens the door for yet another debate..

Todd B Posted January 3, 2015 Report Posted January 3, 2015 I was raised to see the good in things, and I can see potential in that chicken cage. Quote
Niel Hoback Posted January 3, 2015 Report Posted January 3, 2015 The good in things? Well, its worth $180 a ton around here. Chicken cage and all. Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted January 3, 2015 Report Posted January 3, 2015 wow your scrap metal prices are better than our local prices ... Quote

Ulu Posted January 5, 2015 Report Posted January 5, 2015 $180 / ton? Interestingly, that's actually cheaper than the chicken manure, which is about $200 / ton. So we know where the long-term business goals should actually lie. Quote
