In doing a little research, I came across this:

  1. Go to Google Image Search
  2. Type in "Mansory"
  3. If vomiting persists, see a doctor

It could be worse. At least the engine is still a small block Mopar and they didn't swap a 350 into it.

I'm kinda with you. I actually like it, for what it is / was. Though I would have started with a G-body.

And maybe it should be called Kountry Klassic Kars.

I'm curious as to what sort of research this was exactly.

That thing is the answer to the question no one will ever ask.

Now I know why the office internet has been dodgy today.

Nothing too exciting--- trying to get more classic car dealers to advertise in CMS. Looking through various websites to see which ones make sense. (if all they sell are Tri-5 Chevys we look elsewhere) Of course I need to see their inventory to make a judgement call. This is how I came across the Dartbird.

Some days here at GRM / CMS are more fun than others!

For what it's worth, I've actually visited Country Classic Cars. They have hundreds of cars, mostly in project shape, and many goofy things like that one. It's worth seeing, but not for too long.

I don't know if that's an attempt of a flame plame job or artist rendition of an anal fissure

I've never been there, but I've wasted hours on their website. Some of their stuff's reasonable for what it is.

That....I'm not sure what it is...

I used to drive by pretty regularly when I lived outside Pontiac and their stuff is so overpriced when you see it in person it isn't funny.

I'd totally rock it. I should ask if they'd take the Europa as an even-up trade.

This is how I came across the Dartbird.

I first read this as Dirtbard.

I bet they couldn't find a Superbird wing. That would have really completed the look!

Loose the tiger interior (alligator instead maybe) and I would drive it.

That poor barracuda. If cars could cry in shame, I think that one would. :(
