Found on Craigslist: Is this a thing?

NMNA (Don't want any association I think)

Advertised as: 1992-HONDA-1976-DATSUN-TRIKE

The canvas bodywork amuses me. Otherwise I'm not sure if I'm horrified or morbid curiosity has taken over.

In reply to The0retical:

This is an adult version of a big wheel. I think I can see bicycle pedals from here.

IS there a big meth problem around there? Seems the only logical reason.

Frankly, I searched a model that could be cut and do something like that http://claz.org/classifieds?q=datsun Then came to the conclusion .. What for? Expensive and pointless But .. thanks, it's a lucky find

"The front end of this vehicle has been brought to you by DUCK TAPE!"

Looks like something Red Green would have put together.

Is that a little model of a motorcycle mounted on the hood scoop?

Probably poorly maintained drums out back. Yikes!

Seriously, close your eyes and picture a panic stop in that thing!

Looks a like boat-ish somehow.

No, this is a thing...

drugs are bad, mmkay?

sweet type 181 btw

I can't imagine that doing anything well.

I am not even sure it can do things badly....

At least it has a "tow package", that makes it much more useful!

Yes

May as well keep this going since Craigslist never has a shortage of bad taste:

1993 Lightning (the good one) with a.... drumroll please...

custom interior with ostrich crocodile and Louis Vuitton

The rest of the truck looks pretty legit though.

I saw a vehicle like that at the last Minnesota Cars & Coffee except the back half was a Fiero. People were giving it a pretty wide birth and I regret not taking a picture now so I could share the WTF.

Its got the gm 2.8 (so its fast) lol theres nothing wrong with canvas bodywork if done properly.

I once saw a kit car driving down the road based on a prescott pusher homebuilt. I was so startled that I didn't even think to take a picture.

I thought the same thing. It'd make a pretty rad amphibious vehicle IMO.

I think turning at speed in that hontsun bikeup truck would be better accomplished by individually braking the rear wheels, than it would be by steering the front wheel (thus destroying and possibly dismounting the front tire).

I saw something like that fiero one, but it was the front half of a Geo Metro with the tail light section grafted onto the firewall. Of course it was all Green Bay Packer'ed out. It was terrible looking.

In reply to Chris_V:

that there just ain't right

I truly don't understand why people do this. It takes actual skill to complete these projects and some are of very high quality but why? What need does an ill handling under braked S10 serve?
