Your right....A friend of mine and I put this together ten years ago....we had under a $1000.00 dollars in it total.....It was in local newspapers, made Mopar magazines, European equivalent to "speed channel" etc. always drew a huge crowd at events. Kinda miss that car <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/cry.gif
Best of all we were able to pop popcorn out of the exhaust!
Never left a bird hungry!
This was at the Viva Las Vegas show.

Hope you find the video Bruce. Saw the popocorn maker a few times, what a crowd pleaser it was. Not in the same class as the 57 in the first post. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif

You would trust the drivetrain in that car???? Likely assembled with bailing wire and hardware nuts and silicone bathroom caulk for gasket sealer. That car HAD to be photoshopped. No one would build one that bad...... <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif Being sarcastic of course.

Someone wasted a Ford 9" rear on that POS? <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif
Shaun, I have seen that old Mopar popcorn popper several times, and it is 'Pebble Beach Concours' class compared to this hideous 57 wagon.
I went back and looked at the auction again. Not only wasted a 9 inch, but a T5 as well.
I THINK my favorite feature is the seats. Is that just a layer of high density foam wrapped on the roll bars and sitting on the floor board?
Maybe we need a poll to choose the best feature, cuz now I am thinking it may not be the seats, but one of the following:
Munitions boxes in the back.
Chopped roof.
Giant non-closable sunroof.

That guy with the 57 should be shot with his own ammo. I wouldn't waste my own ammo on him.
