Ace-Garageguy Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 This one is really bizarre, obscure, mostly unknown. Good subject.
GTJUNIOR Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 This one has me stumped. Looks like a homemade truck made from assorted salvaged parts from several different manufacturers. Very interested to find out what it is and the history behind it.
matthijsgrit Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 Looks like a truck with a boat on top of it to me.I don't have a clue...
otherunicorn Posted March 8, 2016 Author Posted March 8, 2016 No wiper blades? Is this thing street-legal?No rego plates either. This one is probably being used as an "around the farm" hack.
dw1603 Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 I read somewhere that In the Soviet days, Russian people would remove wiper blades to keep them from being stolen.
68shortfleet Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 Interesting subject. Might even be rarer than last weeks subject.Answer submitted.
Ace-Garageguy Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 I read somewhere that In the Soviet days, Russian people would remove wiper blades to keep them from being stolen. Is truth, comrade. Это правда.

otherunicorn Posted March 14, 2016 Author Posted March 14, 2016 Deja vu all over again.Auto ID #5 June 14, 2010It isn't the first time a car has been repeated. It won't be the last. Finding good contenders is hard!
dimaxion Posted March 25, 2016 Posted March 25, 2016 During the Soviet Days I read many articles about this same subject . Overnight Owners removed : Hub Caps (no such thing as Wheel Covers) , Mirrors , Wipers , Taiillight lenses , Parking Light lenses , Antennas . Everything quickly and quietly removable to avoid "liberation" . Some Car Models the owners did remove Bumpers . Collision damage parts did not exist . Midnight Auto Suppliers flourished .. Thanx .. I read somewhere that In the Soviet days, Russian people would remove wiper blades to keep them from being stolen.It isn't the first time a car has been repeated. It won't be the last. Finding good contenders is hard!
