The best part is that it's for sale!

I see this all the time. Someone modifies a car in a grotesque way and then decides they want to sell it.

Such stupidity.

I saw again last night at the local 7/11, it appears to have a v8 and dual exhaust. Maybe chasis and engine are from a jeep?

Uh, where would you put the V8? They wouldn't even be able to shoehorn a 3.0 V6 in there

Is that the parking garage between Abrams and the Law College?

And that is one scary car.

you would be suprised, i have seen a 5.0L V8 under the hood of a Focus. i have seen a 4.6L Cobra V8 under the hood of a Contour SVT, anything can be done with enough money.

I believe it was going for $4000. Rupp, there is a v8 in that thing, the body of the car is on lift blocks so the engine sits on the chasis, not in the actual engine bay. It is lower than the body of the car.
