And if this crazy bitch had a knife instead of a stun gun, the victim would have been in a morgue.
If that had been my wife, and some lunatic was attempting to get into the vehicle with her, I would hope she would respond with the .45 in the glovebox instead of calling 911. Just sayin'.
Yeah, they're beautiful and all, but every time I see an engine like that outside of a car, I can't help but think, what a waste.
For $2200, assuming the frame and floorpans are solid and there's no major body work needing to be done, that truck's a steal. Even if the engine is useless, drop in a late model 5.4L powertrain or even a more conventional (and much cheaper) '80s era 5.0 and somebody will have a heck of a rat-rod / resto-mod / cruiser.

Though, I must say, if given the choice, I'd much rather spend $2200 on a '67-'72 Chevy in the same condition any day.
I knew before I even clicked on the story that this was a Car and Track piece. And that makes me happy.
Thank you for this update.
What? You all act like this is a bad thing...

Seriously, though, I wonder it it's an actual tattoo or all just some big viral video publicity scam from an attention whore.
Say what you want about NASCAR... but they sure do have purdy tailpipes.
And average printer ink prices across the nation shot up 35 cents per gallon at the pump on word of the tragic spill.
That looks so nice. I'm imagining it in black and silver with a late model Hemi and a 6-speed stir stick.
I thought this one was fairly accurate myself, all things considered.
Well played, sir. Well played.
I'm surprised their manufacturing facilities have that much output capacity at this point.

That said, I have no idea how much demand there is for these things, but given the number of green movement hipsters out there with some serious cash to burn, as long as they can deliver the product as promised (without cutting corners in quality or performance), I honestly think they'll be able to sell as many as they can build. At least for the next year or so, until something else becomes hot.
Honestly, get rid of the tub, put an actual model T / Model A type body tub on it, do something a little more attractive with the radiator, move the steering wheel to the left, and add some lights... it wouldn't make a bad little rat rod. Assuming, of course, the mechanicals actually work and the first drive didn't result in immediate fiery death. I'd pay the current high bid price (~$1100) just for parts alone, if he could prove to me that engine block isn't cracked or the bores egged out.
Shoulda gotten a stick!
Does this fit your definition of "custom"?
Great. I know one company I won't be giving a second thought to anymore.
