Michelin Man 1997 Mystery Kit Car
Calling this next feature a Dodge Challenger is like calling a Jolly Rancher a piece of fruit. What we’re actually looking at appears to be a Pontiac Fiero that’s been aggressively reimagined by someone who binge-watched Knight Rider, American Chopper, and a few too many kit-car brochures, then decided subtlety was optional. The proportions, flying-buttress roofline, and Coke-bottle hips scream fiberglass America, while the sandcastle textured body panels and seating position suggest a Fiero that’s been through a Witness Protection Program and emerged insisting it’s a Mopar now. It’s weird, it’s free-thinking, it’s deeply confusing, and in true Craigslist tradition, it’s also somehow mechanically fine.

”could use Cosmetic Work if u want it to be Really Nice”
If you pull up to your blind date in this, they will pull down the shades and lock the doors!
This is breathtaking in its vulgarity. I marvel that someone expended effort on it, I’m getting vertigo thinking about it.
Based on a ’97 Challenger you say? This must be from an alternate timeline. Happily they’ll trade you for your Datsun 240z, so Bob’s your uncle!
Looks like a Bradley GT with a Really Bad Botox Job
I went to the bother of signing in so I could say that’s the most hideous piece of shit you have ever foisted on us, shame on you.
At this point we are being trolled.
100% Saab wheels. Windshield. Maybe the headlights. That’s a Saab.
It’s the final form of a 9-3 that chose evil?
You know, looking at the top corner of the windshield, now I’m not so sure. Saabs have sharp corners. The wheels, however, no question.
