Prepare to puke.....

I love C3s, especially “Corvette Summer” style mods. That is just depressing. Maybe if it was properly hoped up I could live with it. 

Come on, guys.  Is that really worse than a dead stock C3?  Over the top, just pointed in a different direction.

Stock C3s are among the best-looking cars ever made. This...is the opposite of that.

$20,000?  I figured $35,000 would be the asking price.

You and I have very, very different eyes.

The Cadillac XLR is a C6 done Cadillac style. This thing was ahead of its time as a C3 done 1976 Cadillac style with the Cadillac Seville/Eldorado inspired grill and roof line. 

 

So for those of us who are not of taller/lanky stature's how in the actual hell are you supposed to get to that gas cap without laying over the rear of the car?

You guys are all wrong. I love me some 70s pimp mobile. One day when I grow up I'd love to have a whole collection of Superfly vehicles. 

Nothing a good fire can’t fix.

I always try and find the good in things like this.   I think I am stumped this time. 

Cut the roof off to make a convertible, remove the continental kit, shrink the grille, and you'd have something decent. Maybe better tail lights too.

I feel like I first need to ask what the deal is with the World War 2 Pillbox-style rear end of the cabin (like it should have a .50cal machine gun sticking out the back). I find that part to be the most distateful, like they did a bunch of work to make the swoopy door profiles and then were like "damn, I'm tired. Let's just make the back of the cabin a box."

That was very stylish in the late '70s and very early '80s:

The Seville has aged better than some of the others, particularly the Cougar, which was awful even when new.  But that was definitely the place this guy was coming from when it was built. 

But the real design inspiration were the various "revived" Stutz products, and their imitators:

I see this as a valid choice when you happen to have a free parking space between your Zimmer Golden Spirit and your Stutz Bearcat.

I find it entirely appropriate that he used the word "splendidly" in the description.

I know!  I couldn’t decide if that was the best or the worst part!

Back off y'all that there sure is purtty  BwaHahahahahaaaaa..... perfect for the holiday in Tomball parade this past weekend.

Does it come with a mink coat?

Oh damn! I had to find an image of the Zimmer. Remember when these were proudly displayed at car shows in the 80's? 

IIRC there were a few other brands that were pretty much identical. 

I need to find an antacid. That image search made my tummy upset

In reply to Jumper K Balls :

Excaliburs were all over the place in the mid-80s.

But just look at those exotic tail lights. 

With a less overdone front end and wire wheels I wouldn’t hate it.

Not that I’d ever want one but if I saw one on the road I don’t think I’d say “ew.”

That's the one. I got as close as excelsior. Excalibur eluded me

Prepare to puke? More like prepare to Nuke. 

This thing is like captain Crunch with orange soda instead of milk. 

Needs more whale penis interior.

Pimping 

When I popped open that link I was not sure what to expect.  Took one look and all I could do was laugh...

A highly paid GM stylist came up with this.  The Whorevette isn't a bunch worse.

I be all over one of those revived Stutz cars.  They were based on a Pontiac Grand Prix chassis and drivetrain.  Heck, Elvis had one.
