He forgot to mention it comes with 5 acres of land. It has to. Is he out of his mind! Also that is not a nail head Buick V8, More than likely a 350 Buick later model motor. Have you ever seen a tackier dash?
 
I wasn't refering to you. I just had nothing good to say about this car. Well, not nothing, I do like 1964 Valiants.
 
I hate to say it but I like the exterior (except for the way the tires fit in the wheel openings and the rear with all those lights). I am not digging the interior and the asking price.
 
I know some how I get the feeling that the builder was a cabinet maker by trade! Lots of work, and for a dining room table or hutch the work would be considerd beautiful.

stated on a land rover frame. They used a 215 Buick V8 so it may be a nail head. I kind of like making cars into 4x4's. Not sure why they would in AZ except to run the desert

Someone put a lot of work into the woodwork. This is a vehicle that you have to appreciate the craftsmanship more than the finished product

It could make a cool and DIFFERENT car to cruise in with a little more work. My guess the Buy it now price should be $5,000
 
Honestly, I think I kinda like it, in a desert rover kinda way. Its different for sure with that hand carved dash and all, but the price is abit high. I wish the wheels were centered.
 
While I like the idea, the actual product is awkward. The wheel openings need to be radiused better and stretched to center the wheels and the tail lights need to be thought about again, and it could be neat.

But that interior....wow. I bet that dash weighs 200 lbs. and can feed 6 trillion Termites. Imagine watching vermine burrowing through the top of your dash while waiting at a traffic light?
 
The dash is awful, and so is the rear bumper, other than that I dig the car. Especially that its 4x4!!!

No the nail head GM motors used a reverse set up pushrod rocker arm set up so the valve covers mount on the engine in a flat method. If you ever see one they are easy to spot from then on.

that is not a 215 v8. i have one in the shop right now. those valve covers are indicative of about a late 60's 350-430.
