Friday inspiration! Give this car the last laugh and turn it into a Cobalt beast like this...

Anything under $25k would be considered highway robbery! This thing screams function over form! Wonder how much more efficient the AC ran with the insulated high pressure lines?

That was a picture he sent me. When I purchased the car, the insulation was no longer present. AC works but not fantastically.

Picked up an LSD 5-speed and actually an entire extra engine for it (came as package). Not sure if I might rebuild that engine while the car is mobile or just keep the trans and sell the motor...

You may wanna keep the original numbers matching engine and trans. For value !

I can’t believe I’m seeing this car again....

The original pics were at Hyde Park area in Tampa. I saw this car once, and just stared at it for 15 min. Basically my brain completely shut down. Took me 2 coffees and a pastry to recover....

Glad it found a new home

One of my favorite neighborhoods in the entire country. It deserves better than this (former) monstrosity every bit as much as the car deserves it's newfound better treatment.
