 Terrapin Z is probably on his way there right now...  @Terrapin Z

Ha, I have enough motors, 2 F54's a few N42's and a bunch of 240's I usually get them in the cars, but I did buy one outright. A 240 with an auto trans on it for $30

The carbs on there look 3 screw? with 73-74 manifold, but they are sold separate. 

The flat tops almost make it worth the money. I wonder if has a p79?

When I first saw it I thought "great deal" then "carbs and intakes not included".

WT...! I wasn't sure if this should go here, or in the Zeds only a mother could love thread, but I picked here.

Looks like somebody put a lot of work in to it.  Why not the last piece though?  Makes no sense!

"400ci Chevrolet V8 is equipped with a Holley Stealth Ram intake and throttle body, sequential-port fuel injection, an electric cooling fan, an engine-compartment fuel pressure gauge, a Harwood plastic fuel cell, and a remote battery mounted in the trunk.......Power is sent to the rear wheels through a Ram clutch and a Tremec six-speed manual transmission."

and an R180.

I'm pretty sure it is on that thread. One of a kind.

Just had a look and couldn't find it. I had forgotten how terrible some of those Zeds are. Great for a laugh but hard to un see.

My vote for "only a mother could love" thread.  Wow, it's fugly.

Well, this one is...unique.  It's like the owner couldn't stop cutting and pasting until the z was no more.

Haha, i posted this one here 6 months ago when it was listed on Ebay... look's like it didn't sell then.

...And the BaT comments on this one are pure gold!

 

"“There is a crack on the driver’s side front fiberglass fender”

That is the only one. All other crack was used up during the construction process""

Another Beverly Hills Car Club special...I'm not sure if someone else has posted it, but I just have the image of these twits searching through wrecking yards for cars to sell.
