ive seen much MUCH worse

I think that is just a car with an unfinished paint job.  Not a Rat Rod

[High octane]

Rods are '48 and earlier.

[Austin T]

I think the correct tern for this is a "Beater".Kinda reminds me of the junkers on GTA IV.

[Rob McKee]

I just want to know what happened to this car?

It's not unfinished, it's de-finished.

Really? Is this what it's come too? Does this signal the end of the lets-make-my-hundred-grand-car-look-old-on-purpose nonsense? I hope so.

[JunkPile]

The crusher would (should) be the de-finish of it

It was bought by an idiot with more time and sandpaper than brains and sense.

[Luc Janssens]

Nah you guys are all wrong, the guy was trying to polish his car, but he forgot to replace the sanding disk on his power tool...

[Deano]

Builder says it was done because no one else has the gonads to do it.  I think it's more like no one else is stupid enough; supposedly a $150,000 car.

[Michigan Madman]

At least it doesn't look like the love child of a '69 Camaro and a rubber door stop anymore. Wait, no, it still does...

[slusher]

That really just looks bad. Why would you do that?

[Jantrix]

I like rat rods. I like patina'd rods. I like beaters, works-in-progress, whatever you want to call them.

 

 

But this is just pointless. I dearly hope this turns into a $150,000 turkey he can't sell.

That might be cool if they had done a decent job on the "paint". Something more like this.

What could possibly get a late-model Camaro to $150K?  Is it a Lingenfelter twin-turbo with gold plated foot pedals?

[wisdonm]

Great. They don't look good new, and won't improve with age.

I was wondering about the 150k also. Did they pour 100k down the exhaust pipes ?
