A 1939 Chevy rebodied with a… 1991 Geo Metro?!?
This next car comes as a tip from Matt C who writes: If I needed to say something nice about it, I’d say that it succeeds much better than attempting to make a 1957 Chevy out of a 2002 Camaro. And it is probably considerably more exciting to drive then when (a small portion of) it rolled off the line in 1991. Find this 19XX hot rod offered for $8000 in Wilmot, WI via craigslist.

bolting in roll bars and installing seat-belts does not make it street legal. The last time I checked my local codes, you had to cover all tires with fenders. I would suggest checking with your insurance company about this home-built.
Check with Lloyds of London (worshipful company of a Privy Council Franchisee) after you ride the short bus on your way to the snowflake academy tomorrow about seat belt status

22" wheels up front and 20" in the rear. It's like a dirt bike!
Is that a windshield from a boat?
Well, it's um
Uhh
Yeah. There's that, at least.
Well it’s not another T bucket or A , and the geo makes a surprisingly nice generic car shaped thing with doors, but I can’t imagine why it’s not titled as a 1939 Chevy rather than as a Geo. I thought the point of these was to have the title on the oldest part of the vehicle so as to only need to meet the letter of the law as it was in 1939.
My guess is that local requirements don't require any inspection for something 25 years or older, and that he had to use the VIN off the cowl or dash to title the car.
Reminds me of W.C. Fields’ definition of sex “I don’t know if it’s good and I don’t know if it’s bad. All I know is that there’s nothing quite like it.”
Another reminder that, just because you can – it doesn't mean you should.
Ooof.
