Shelby Garder Snake?



In the 80's Carroll Shelby helped Dodge turns some humdrum products into something not quite so humdrum. Now it appears he's working in the Eastern Bloc as well. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe this is a Lada. Although I have to say, the front end is quite an impressive conversion, given the working material. Still not exactly a looker though. Also - how would this fool anyone if they look further than a straight on front end view?

A Lotta Lada

There seem to be boatloads of homemade Eastern European kits out there, so instead of posting them all separately I thought I would try to include them all in one post...

Almost fooled me there...

Not sure what's going on here, but this car is terrifying...

It's hard to tell, but it looks like the doors are now hinged to the exterior of the A-pillars.

Lada Samara by Abarth? Not sure how else to explain the Scorpions. Fluorescent pink is a nice touch.

Rocket powered?

Somehow, I don't think that bumper was meant for a Skoda.
