Hmmm - Slap a bug eye baja kit, some sand stompers and a 3 1/2" lift kit and that would look fairly mean after a few scratches and a roll over. Cage it out an cabrolet the top for the sun and rain to come in.

Has potential.

Don't you just live evolution - Survival of the fittest I reckon.

i think they are kind of cool, they may not be the prettiest but tuning parts from the early 50's... yes please.

btw if any of you guys that doesn't like them has one i'll take it off your hands... there is about 3 or 4 in existance so they aren't that rare :)

hmm, sound tempting, though fingers crossed I may have the privilege of driving someones oval to the Warwick weekender, *sigh* I think peeps are getting sick of having to wipe the drool off thier cars, and the greazy fingerprints, can't help myself, must touch! :love:

My comments are all in jest. I didn't chuck in a smiliey. Mabey I should have.

I would never butcher an oval or many of the earlier models following them. I can appreciate history but geography and getting to it is my love.
