Exclamation Try not to laugh...WTF happened?!


If you don't laugh after viewing this ad, you have no sense of humor.

This is one SPECIAL 928, engine and transmission are PERFECT.

my bidding finger is getting itchy just looking at it, LMAO.

Just think of what you could do with a $6 can of red paint, a gift card from Racer Boy Store, some stick on numbers from Autozone, and a 4 barrel carburetor!

Maybe just a kid who couldn't do up the car correct, but still...

I like the breather vent on the thermostat housing. Don't want too much pressure building up in yer cooling system.

Thermostat housing breather? i think that's the incorrect use of that part. Gives you 2 extra miles before it overheats from the blown head gasket "upgrade".

4 Barrel Carburetor: Maybe he traveled back into time with it and had to retrofit older parts on it to keep it running for his next time jump. Where's Doc Brown and why aren't there wagon wheels on this car??

Here, I fixed the pictures for you. I think this may help anyone else who has been thinking about these kind of upgrades on which way to go with the process.

I like it. A bit of paint and some racing stripes I bet I could win some car shows.

I'm very confused, what exactly am I looking at here. I think that's a 928, but what happened to it?

It's the Edelbrock carb that spoils it for me. Really should have two Holley 4v's!
