Somebody, for the love of god, buy this. Then let me drive it. I've always, always wanted one of these goddamn why do I not have $10k  http://jonesboro.craigslist.org/cto/2539312614.html  Next, in the realm of "loving awesome things that I need the keys to" http://jonesboro.craigslist.org/cto/2539120729.html  And lastly, that... That is certainly a thing. http://jonesboro.craigslist.org/cto/2541490317.html

Haha, they're flaming him to hell. Seems he's been trying to sell it for ages. I think it's pretty cool, but of course not at that price.

And there's that aftermarket wheel, those gauges, that head unit, probably the pedals, and the cold air intake. I'm sure he didn't install them himself, so when you add in outrageous labor, you could get pretty close to $6k for all of that.

Only decent front end swap I'd seen in recent memory was one done on that Overhaulin' show, where a Chrysler 300 front end was swapped with a Dodge Magnum: Opinions will vary on the rest (personally I don't care for the rims and flamey paint)

Ozz81 posted:That just looks terrible and sloppy with how they didn't bother to even change the hood. Big difference: The 300 and Magnum share a platform so that swap was probably just some bolt-on parts and maybe some bodywork to bring the lines together better - and whether you like Foose's tastes or not, he does always have some outstanding bodymen to put them into reality. The 300 front end on the Durango? Looks like it was stuck on with 3M double-stick.

No doubt, he and his guys always do amazing work...I just think sometimes it can be a little too over the top, or sometimes stuff gets done that doesn't seem necessary. Even if I don't like a final design, I still like watching his show just to see how the ideas come together, and watching stuff get stripped, disassembled, and put back together in such a short time.

In fact, Chrysler sells a 300 Touring model outside of North America which is just a Magnum with a 300's front end and interior trim. http://uk.cars.yahoo.com/car-reviews/car-and-driving/chrysler-300c-touring-1005078.html EDIT: I don't know how I totally missed mobby_6kl's post, but I did.

I've always, always wanted one of these goddamn why do I not have $10k I dont understand syclones, the 0-60 specs do not make any sense. Unless the AWD system had launch control (which it obviously didnt) a 3500lb car with 280hp and 350ft lbs of torque does not do 0-60 in 4.3 seconds. They may have been underrated, but even then, i do not believe the 0-60 times. edit: doh, only wikipedia citing car and driver says 4.3. I really hate 0-60 times

Dave Inc. posted:So this just came up in my area. Update on this car: Half the interior was missing, the power steering pump mount was broken and unusable, the timing belt had snapped before so the head was replaced (but who knows what damage the pistons took), it had spots of rust on every body panel and the best part was that the seat mounts were rusted through--there was no way to attach the seats (driver and passenger) without cutting and rebuilding that portion of the frame. Pass. So I just told him the wheels were worth $400-500 alone (they were perfect if dusty) and to just part out the rest. Me, I don't have the space/tools for the kind of work it needed and I wanted something I could drive and fiddle around with on weekends--not a parts car.

That sucks, but unfortunately a lot of these are turning into parts cars due to massive abuse. Getting rust on every body panel and rusting the seat mounts out in a car that was hot-dip galvanized at the factory takes some serious work. Like allowing Bubba and Clem at the local paint shop to sand things down to metal and beyond when they do your respray.

Well I just found out the "Astroghini" is for sale just down the street from me. I've seen it sitting out in front of their house for a few weeks now, but i only just noticed it posted to craigslist this morning. The price seems pretty good Also here is a blog post someone made about it: http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/2011/08/found-in-kalamazoo-the-astroghini-tales-of-americas-industrial-past/
