Making the rounds at various Southern California cruises, this blown Nash Metropolitan is the epitome of big engine-little car hot rodding. Watch these videos see what happens when the go stick is put to use leaving the Cars and Coffee cruise in Irvine, Ca.

What could go wrong..

 

[RitcheyRch]

I've seen that car many times at various car shows. Pretty cool and bet is one wild ride.

Wow, when i was in high school my best friends neighbor had built one like that, totally possible its the same one

 

[Mandelon]

Just watch out for the Mustangs when they leave the car show.

I used to see that car a lot. I remember it leaving Fuddruckers one time, pretty epic departure.

 

[ltbaney1]

we know the current owners, great people. to say that car is a handfull is a understatement. in its current form they have added a pretty good size wing to try to keep it planted.

Cool car. Worked on it back in probably 03-05 when i was at Magnaflow. Good to see its still making the rounds.

Such a great car! I have a pic of my son in it when he was 2 and he's 28 now. The car still is as bitchin today as it was back then.

A friend and I built a metro back around 1967 with a small block chevy, just a 3 carb set-up that we called the FULL HOUSE MOUSE

I was at Fuddruckers once around 2012 when he was there and it had a Lenco 4 lever transmission looked like it was from the old Pro Stock days
Could have been the same time you saw it. He did an EPIC exit down El Toro Road. I think he said he drove it down from Huntington Beach

Everybody's head turned when he pulled in the lot. It was loud as hell & lurched about a foot forward on every blower surge

There's an orange one in Havasu too

Great recollection! Sounds to be about the right timeframe. Turning out at the light, and then just blasted down El Toro. I think too, he might have u-turned and came back up the other direction and burp-ed it a little.

The metro stands out, and on a different occasion, I remember a brown/green Nova got loose and stuffed the front end into the sidewalk. That was great.

My 1969 Camaro.

Highlights of the past 22 years of ownership, to get to, the current project that I took on. Purchased in 2000 at The Great Labor Day Cruise. I was 15 1/2, barely had my permit. Super spoiled I know. Originally a Red/Red 327-3spd. Bone Stock. It was hit in the late 90's. The owners...

WOW....Holy sheep shit. AWESOME BUILD. Is that Lemans Blue?

Bought it in 1977. Have done 2 rebuilds on it. Last one started in 2010 and took until 2014 to finish. Was gonna do an upgrade to Baer 4 wheel disk brakes and ended up doing a complete subframe off, all new sheet metal except hood and roof and a couple of valence panels.
All new wiring, body, paint, motor, trans, Pro Tour suspension, customer interior, stereo.....you know the drill

I'll have to do a mini-thread on it some day
