I don't know...I've definitely seen worse. It actually looks OK from the passenger front quarter view.

If it didn't have the boy-ricer rear wing and instead had some type of 1980 IMSA rear treatment, it'd be a pretty cool looking car.

Unless you're a card-holding NCRS member, that is. Then you'd want to drive it onto a set of busy train tracks and 'accidentally' have the engine die.

The seller refers to it as a rat rod. Actually not that bad looking, if you are into mods.

I'd like to see the engine bay and a close up of those stacks. The rest of the car is of little interest to me.

I think they have the concept of a Rat rod all wrong, it does look like it has a nice paint job and interior (although not my style), so Rat Rod it is not...
