I post this for entertainment value only.
During my short time in Memphis, I have heard tales of an local individual who put a Honda Civic body on a wrecked C5. I just smiled and nodded, thinking I needed to put on my hip waders. Then one day I was driving home from work and I ended up stopped next to a Civic, and I noticed that it had quite a nice exhaust note. Didn't hit me till he pulled away and I saw the crossed flags on the hatch.

My momma always told me: "if you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all". Creative. One of a kind - is all I can muster. My reason may be different from many others, so i will continue. Would I want to be seen driving a Ricer even if it had a monster power plant? Never!! Sorry mom.

While not what I would want to spend my time or money on, it is the epitomy of hot rodding.
One of my former students just dropped a 6.0 LS into his Nissan 240. Light weight, rear drive, and he was able to get parts to beef up his driveline for next to nothing at the local pick-a-part.
Personally If I were to create a mixed race car, it would have to be a Miata. Basically a modern Shelby Cobra.

Don't think so. This happened a while ago before I started posting. Are you the builder?
I saw the car once after that at the Bartlett Cruise in. Hood closed and dark tint on the windows.
That's just mean.
