When I saw this I thought of a Corvair !!!

When I saw that I threw up a little in my mouth. Poor car.

Like or hate it, this still beats scrapping it or sending to Boyd's

Ruined another 61!!!!!why didn't they start with a Edsel!!!

 

[63 dream'n]

Because you couldn't ruin an Edsel.........????

Because you couldn't ruin an Edsel.........????

My point exactly!!!!

Must have, a flat carburetor.

The award is the "Ridler". Riddler is Edward Nigma's alter-ego.

Yeah. Beats the hell out of me why they'd lose the '61's signature V in the middle of the tailgate/trunk. I wonder what it looks like with the hatch down.

 

[61BUBBLE348]

Looking at the images, does the tailgate open fully? there is no drop down tailgate, so access could be a little limited.

 

[bobs409]

Don't worry, this THING won't ever be driven or enjoyed again as originally intended. It's a freak show now. I'd call it "Caitlyn."

The award was won by that 64 Riviera a few years ago, it was actually driven in a road race as I recall. It had a Chevy 8.2L, 850HP.

What are those wheels off of? Are they custom? They look like '61 hubcaps. Here's a link:

Those are custom made wheel's to look like original hub cap's ,just as Jay Leno did with his 55 Buick,,,,{i think that's the year} .I could go for this car except for the back hatch crap!!!!!

 

[bobs409]

Yeah and the wheels probably cost them 2k each! Money can do anything, not always good. Not impressed at all. Just another old car and engine in this case ruined. I just don't see the point other than to flash your money around.

 

[skipxt4]

Just because they're rich, doesn't mean, they have good taste.

 

[mark johnson]

I like it . . .

 

[DonSSDD]

I don't think you are close at $2000 per wheel Bob. Leno''s were machined from one block of aluminum I think.
