I've seen shortys before, but never an a-body:

I think that one has been on EBAY before.... I have a picture of it saved on my hard drive from somewhere....

 

[senk04SRT]

Wow that thing looks like pure death!

 

[Burntorange70]

Now that is different.

 

[MopaR&D]

That thing is sooo ugly.

 

[cuda67bnl]

I think it's pretty cool.

I might drive it around a retirement community (with a new paint job), but not on the highway. Nope. Don't think so. (I'll bet it pops GREAT wheelies!!!)
:-D:-D:-D:-D:-D:-D

I'm not sure if I believe their story on the history on it, drivers inner fender is awful bent up and the core support is cut. Not that it really matters with something like this.....

I think that it is cool as hell 20 footer or not BUT Look at the last pic!!!!!!!! If that is all that is holding the "frame" together it needs some work.

 

[RedFish]

Thats the retro style of electric cars to come LOL
Looks better than this thing...

Shoulda moved the rear wheels about 1 foot farther back

 

[BlkArrow]

Yeah I remember looking at that at carlisle...it really is kinda ratty. You can't say that it isn't unique though. That would be annoying to get in and out...

See what happens when a bow tie guy gets his hands on a Mopar!

 

[hemizach]

God that thing is ugly.... poor thing

 

[JR]

Hey at least it didn't get crushed!

 

[hemizach]

Hey at least it didn't get crushed!

I guess but if it was nice enough to do that to it then it would have been nice enough to build "right."

 

[JR]

There is no "right" way to build a car unless you name is on the title.

It came out wrong... I'm referring to the right way as in, not a shorty version. I mean, maybe it could be done better.

 

[JR]

The way they built it into a shortie is total crap I will agree with you there but shorties can and have been done right and still look cool. There are a few shortened tri five chevies around Seattle that would blow the doors off a lot of restored hemi cars.

Here are 2 shorties that were at a show last year.

This is a 56 Alfa Romeo that was T-boned. My dad and some buddies saved it from getting crushed, shortened it in the middle, dropped in a slant six hooked to a Avanti 4 speed and a Jeep rear end with Hillborn injection.
It was featured in the October 1963 issue of Northwest Rod News.

I've seen that Duster several time on different sites. From what I have read it was modified in the 70's and was a show car. The paint job is the same one it's had since it was customized.

 

[hemizach]

360Scamp, this may be a dump question but what's the blue wagon? I like it.

 

[JR]

Olds F85 Wagon I want to say it was a 62-63 but Im not sure. Anyone know what year?

 

[Dart-swinger]

Man if only the duster was tubbed too,then I might want it:munky2:
