WTF Friday: Trump Car(d)

Jun 5, 2015

I had a completely different WTF Friday written for today. Tagged, edited, ready to go as of last night. Then this franken car appeared in my timeline and that other post got pushed to another date because this, well this is crazy.

Seeing a first generation Eclipse/Talons in general seem to be exceedingly rare these days, but a first gen Talon with a 355 small block under hood? Rarer than rare. One of one in fact.

trumpcard2 — From the looks of it builder Kyle Swanson tube framed the car from at least the sub frame forward to make everything work

trumpcard3 — . He’s also clearly got a sense of humour with the Audi grill thrown in front of the rad

trumpcard4 — The headlights look like Volkswagen units (MK4 Golf maybe?) and I can’t place the front bumper

trumpcard5 — The fact that the motor is for sale makes me wonder, something more potent going in or is this car destined for the scrap heap?

trumpcard6 — It’s got that classic muscle car rake, which combined with the sound probably leaves a few people scratching their heads as it rolls by

trumpcard7 — and if you were curious about whether or not it was plated, the answer is yes.

Headlights are from a mk3 golf and the front bumper looks to be a wings west 2nd gen CRX piece.

The front bumper came from a Subaru Impreza L.
