Want to be appalled/intrigued/disgusted? Go to San Francisco craigslist to cars/trucks and search 1972 Dodge Challenger 4x4. This beast is in San Jose North. Thoughts?

:looney:
Actually looks like it was built nice and not some cobbled up piece of crap. :dunno:
I am not a buyer but it does look well done and isn't a rusty POS like these usually are. I'd drive it.
There is an ass for every seat and there is the seat. I have seen many of these type of conversions but most were redneck types; this one has some class. Made from good bones.
Dumb question....how far does he have to drive to be on a beach and then see that much snow :rubeyes: in California ?
When I think California....I only think beaches 8)
I agree with Alan. It does seem to be put together pretty well. around my area I've seen a ton of that stuff (home-made 4X4's), but usually just cobbled together crap. Can't say I'd want one tho
And when people think of New York they think it's all city! BTW about two or so hours east of San Diego, up in the mountains one can find snow. :yes:
Someone ask him what kind of seats are in there.
I guess he couldn't decide if he wanted a car or a truck :dunno:

Interesting...I don't live near mountains but I guess that makes sense.....I live here in Canada in my igloo :canada: oh....there goes a moose... :drinkingbud:
This reminds me of my wife's Porsche. We sold it and the guy, who bought it, lifted it 4" and offroads it, now. I hear it's in this months Car and Driver.
Whatever floats your boat. Im not grossed out by it.

:haha: :haha: :rofl: :rofl:
Hmm around here I could drive that on the beach to go surf fishing... just needs a rod rack on the front bumper! 8)
Am I the only purist who gets grossed out on these resto-mods? I don't even like it when different rims are put onto a classic. :thumbdown:
Nicest looking 'up in the sky' 4x4 I've seen yet. :bigthumb:
My neighbour made up a similar type vehicle a number of years ago. He did his with a cordoba. His had hideaway headlights, A/C and 'rich, corinthian leather'.

Was it Ricardo Montobon? :haha:

I think those things look about as stupid as it gets. The bad thing is that if I had $30k to buy it so I could take it home and fix it I wouldn't want to reward him with the $30k.
I got to admit...I think it looks pretty sweet! It looks well built and like said not a cobbled up piece of junk. Not exactly on my bucket list, but if i had money to burn and 100 acres of foothills or beach nearby I could see a lot of with with it!
Fast forward to the 2:51 mark, the 9:18 mark & 17:20 mark.
The same Challenger joined in on our Classic Mopar Cruise here in the Bay Area a couple years ago.
