1972 Pontiac "Race Car"



This beauty appears to be homemade. The ebay listing offers this description:

“This is a Race Car! It starts, runs and drives good… It looks to be built on a 1972 Pontiac Grandville chassis, with the original dash, and it is equipped with what looks like the original 455 V8 gas engine. It has a sheet metal body and everything has been stripped that is not necessary making it very light and extremely fast! It also has custom tires. The power steering is not working, but this car starts right up every time. We have no history on the car, such as racing history, if any, but it looks like it was built more for advertising and showing.”

So it’s a “race car” that MAY have raced, MAY have a 455 and MAY be based on a Pontiac Granville. It also MAY not be safe to drive. I'm not sure if I would buy something from someone with such vague descriptions. I would also not buy something that fugly.

It's the "Big Gay Al" of race cars. All it's missing is Eric Cartman behind the wheel acting like people had BETTER respect his Authoritah!
