Default Am I seeing things or is this a real TA??
So I'm doing my normal browsing around on craigslist of all the WS6's for sale and I come across this nightmare... I'm kind of hoping its photo shopped but the ad looks legit. Has anyone else seen anything like this before??

I've seen that before. I think those lights are off some motorcycle.

Some people shouldn't be let near nice cars.

someone gave the bird a beak. definitely looks like a motorcycle front end was fitted and molded into the front bumper along with several splitters.

Despite its grusome look, why can't people with these kinda of skills make something cool. The craftsman ship looks top notch. I wish it wasn't so aweful though.

I don't think it's a real WS6. The Lid base is wrong. May just be a standard Trans Am so no big loss.

The sad thing is he "says" its an NHRA Trans Am. Though I thought NHRA only did the firebird formulas. But with the length of that nose that car is useless, you would damage it with any sort of upwards slant... not to mention I couldn't imagine how bad the weight ratio is on that front end now.

I agree with the talent... could of spent doing custom ground effects or something.
