Can't say I was surprised when I saw it was in Pinellas Park, that's a good representation of that area...

Totally awesome. Can we buy the guy a few pallets of pain killers and beer to build us a fleet of these for spec racing?
Spec Tetanus?

WORDS....... FAIL......... ME..........
But I'll try. Wow. This is what happens when vision fails to meet reality. Still, I like it. It reminds me of the robot WALL-E more then anything else. Really gotta dig that lopsided propane tank in the back.

Left over from a Mad Max movie? I still want it. Good luck rationalizing that one to the little woman!

I guess I'm missing something.
I'll agree, the crooked poorly secured propane tank is awful. I'll also agree the nose looks like a POS. Additionally, the cheapo trailer style wagon wheels do leave a bit to be desired.
However, I'm also seeing a pretty straight, seemingly decent 7 chassis complete with a running V-12 in it. What's not to like?
OK, so he mixed up a few of the parts. Some of them should have been attached to his barbeque grill, some thrown in the trash.
But overall, a complete V-12 7 in need of a few minor mods and improvements (easily completed by the average amateur mechanic) for $2K doesn't sound so terrible to me.

I can't justify buying it, but I'm having some severely bad ideas involving some spare drivetrain and suspension parts, and the neighbor's swingset and chainlink fence.
