Does anyone need a good laugh???

According to the seller, it used to be an 8 second car. I guess it got caught in some sort of time warp. rofl

wow wow wow you don't even need tie downs just wedge it into the trailer

Someone spent a crap pile of money with all those body mods. I am sure it was cool to someone at some point.

8 seconds. Was that the 0-60 time? A bit wild for my taste.

 

[luxstang]

I believe the 8 second car part. I could not look at it for longer than 8 seconds.

 

[rocket366]

car was so fast it peeled a lot of the paint off!

yes 8 sec car with no parachute, roll cage, or 8-71 blower.

OMG the body effects very 80's

7.0 liter? Maybe a 427/428? Looks like a FE motor. Maybe eight seconds in the 1/8th mile.

It was a car - for a period of 8 seconds. Then someone saw this and thought they could get smart with a J.C. Whitney catalog:

It ought to be quite fun turning that car back to stock though - Step one: Peel the banana!

You want to know the unbelievable part of it all? The water outlet / thermostat housing is from a late-1970's 400/351M...

...but it's a wet intake manifold with the hallmarks of a 429/460. And it's got a short radiator shroud (though not original with those raised letters), but I'd highly doubt these turkeys would have been smart enough to realize that 429s use a different shroud if this car had an engine swap from one type to another.

Could it be that underneath all of that crap is a real C-code 429 Mach 1?

EDIT: Doubt it. Steering pump is not from a 429 car.

Shame the flux capacitor is missing. Would be a steal at that price.

Crazy beetlejuice-esque interior going on there... wow

+ 1 with Ralph

Other than the spoilers I think it had some good points

I would have picked a different color though.

Looks more like Corvette summer than an 80's Mustang

 

[Boss1Ray]

Sad investment. I never liked the Covette Summer car either. Weirdly modded cars are almost impossible to sell unless a ton of craftsmanship and detail went into the build, and for some of those = $$$$$. The same with race cars unless they have some rare (preferably documented) pedigree!

It was a 7 second car but then they added a bunch of weight to it.

I am almost tempted to buy it and put it out of its misery.

Iron Eagle??? Looks more like an Iron Oxide Turkey.

I found it to be like a train wreck. So ugly, but you can't stop looking at it.

Seller's reputation is about on par with fiberglass styling.
