The deadline has passed and 5 cars have been completed and we now need to choose a winner. If it were up to me I would just chose myself, so that I wouldn't need to buy a prize. That is why it is not up to me, it will be up to you. please observe the models below and reply in the comments with which one is your favourite. Votes will be tallied Friday morning. The winner will receive the most interesting model that isn't too expensive that I can find on E-bay.

You may view the build thread here.

 

Entry #1: Slowbird's Holden Barra powered NA

Taking the simple formula of big engine and little car Slowbird created this little monstrocity that frankly, none of us would kick out of the driveway.

Entry #2: Javelin's 911 Pacer

A turbo flat 6 in a fish bowl? What the fuchs? It works too well.

 

Entry #3: Claff's Nascar Expedition:

A build that was so natural I cannot believe it isn't already a real thing.

 

Entry #4 is VWCorvette's Bad Mean & Wild

What if your old BMW was back-halved and sported a massive turbo? Well, it'd be bad mean and wild.

 

Entry #5 A Clockwork Garage's Heavy Chevy

More bigger is more better.




There you have it, congrats to everyone who entered and I hope you had fun even if you didn't finish. Please vote below in the coments.

They are all great, but as someone who has butchered a perfectly good car myself, I have to vote for the Pacer. Except I want Javelin to now get rid of the roof rack, de-chrome it, and shave off the headlights and eyebrows and replace them with either projector lights or hidden headlights. smiley

I love them all, but if I have to turn in a vote, it 's the BMW for me.

AMC Porscher, Pacer 911, Turbo Fishbowl...whatever it is called. That shouldn't be as cool as it is. But it is, so WIN.

The Pacer for sure. My Mercury-Jag inspired this idea, and the PorkyPacer out does it every way. Bravo.

Pacer for me but the Pro-Street BMW is a close second mostly due to the craftsmanship.

They are all good but I like the Pacer on a concept level plus execution, with the NASCAR Expedition a close second.

I really like them all. The BMW gets the W from me, with the rest tied for 2nd. Really cool builds

Gonna have to go with the Pacer. AMC and Porsche are never heard in the same sentence together; but man would that floor some people!

Pacer, for sure, with the drag E24 BMW a close second...

Nascedition. All of them are neat, but if I had the keys to all of them for real it would be the first one I'd drive, followed closely by the monster Chevy because no one is too old for monster trucks.

Bmw's attention to detail in that engine bay just so good.

That's it, Turbo Fishbowl. That's the name. Has to be.

They're all fantastic, but I have to vote for the Pacer because it was done so well that it looks like a real full scale car in the photos.
