car show things that make you go HMMMMM?

[ltbaney1]

I will be the first to admit that alot of the stuff i think looks good on cars some wont. thats part of what makes it cool, you can personalize a car for your taste or function. But every now and then i see something that just makes me shake my head, i very rarely take pictures at shows but this was too good. i actually forget what specific car it was, but it was a early mopar gasser. looked really clean when it pulled in, but what instantly made me want to see it was "mechanical injection" something about those 8 stacks sticking up from a engine i just love. i walked up to the car from behind, body straight nice cage and interior work, got to the engine and saw this it actually took me a minute to figure out what it was. i just kind of shook my head and walked away. any of you guys ever see anything like this? it ruined the car for me, felt like telling the owner just put a air cleaner on in and it would be 10x cooler.

 

[dribble]

That's false advertising.

 

[Waterjunky]

pathetic comes to mind......

 

[zbudman]

Maybe that is his air cleaner.

 

[SBMech]

Haha! Dress up Stacks....never would I ever......

 

[HNL2LHC]

Saw that at PEP Boys but can’t recall which isle it was on…..

 

[instagator]

Those make it a rat rod ! that's what he should build next.

 

[instagator]

I took this stupid air scoop off,

 

[DLow]

Yes, I’ve see those before.
No, I’d never, ever do that on a car I owned.
But I don’t have anything to take to a car show right now, so who am I to talk?

 

[traquer]

That's nasty.

Here's something nice so you sleep well at night

 

[J DUNN]

To OP, that's what I call a 10'er. Looks good from 10 er 12 feet away.

 

[Kbach]

I while ago I was searching for blowers for my Nova on CL, offer up, etc and for a whole there was a guy on CL selling a 6-71 blower that was gutted and had a carb mounted inside it

 

[bowtiejunkie]

What a let down!! Lol. Never seen that before! I agree, a nice air cleaner would actually look better.

 

[coolchange]

I had a 6-71 polished with an Enderle and the drive and pulley all polished. But it was gutted for a carb. Friend wanted it bad so I eventually sold it to him.
Ya anything that tries that hard….

 

[Tank]

Lol. That’s some ghetto ass shit.

Wonder if when the hoods down you can’t tell. Like only the stacks are sticking up.

beautiful car, what did you replace it with?

 

[74 spectra20 v-drive]

I like when people do stuff that makes you think, i would have been fine with the fake stacks if it was executed better, the fit and finish on that was poor at best. The is a pretty well know cracker box that has a couple things on it that dont do a dam thing but make people look real had and try to figure out what the hell it is.. I like that.

 

[Ziggy]

Remember this?

That is like seeing a super hot chick...





...All excited to check it out..





...then you see the adams apple

 

[CoolCruzin]

Real deal right here on my coupe

 

[Sharp Shooter]

There’s a GTO with that same set up that I see regularly at local shows. I’m not a fan and it reminds me of these ridiculous scoops.

This was out tonight in Havasu…Thought it might be yore’s but none of the fake crap coming out of the hood……

 

[beaverretriever]

I really hate those brake caliper covers I see. People with the lower end Mustangs, Challengers and Camaros seem to really buy them.

 

[Willie B]

… Maybe it just needs 8 more injector nozzles???…and to be named Little Surfer…(Only a few will get the joke)…

 

[bonesfab]

Just did this to the road racer. Weber looking efi on a nos Moon intake

 

[bonesfab]

In what used to be the Hilton in Vegas. Where the sema show is held. In the lobby across from the cantina was a black 32-34 ford coupe. Sporting the fake set up pictured above. It was there a few years and I chuckled every time I went by it.

 

[monkeyswrench]

For some reason, padded bra comes to mind...

Anyone remember a car in Hot Rod from maybe 88-89, "The Great Pretender"? Pro Street Chevette iirc...big tubs and wheelie bars...stock drivetrain

Think of it this way...it lured in a hard-core Mopar guy. His fishing game makes GRADS look like yarn an a paperclip

 

[BB132]

Back in the day there was a bolt on
fake 8 stack fuel injection on the market endorsed by Don Garlits.

I believe that’s what these are. I remember seeing them in the magazines and saying why.

 

[SoCalZero]

My uncle has the same stack setup on his Mandela flat. Bought it with it on there. I think the only thing he changed on that boat was the oil.

 

[monkeyswrench]

Honestly, never seen one. Look good on the shelves in the shop though. A conversation piece, like old Cal-Custom stuff.

Water injection??

 

[Clank123]

I put these on a Rocket 88 motor I built that’s going in a Stevens wood decker I’m doing(someday).
Not fake and I like the look.

 

[Willie B]

…The real deal in the way of Enderles…

…I am 90% sure that our Enderles were the first set cast for a small block Chevy…This would have been early 1965…

Launch ramp might be a challenge.

I am beyond that. I probably have close to a 100 intake manifolds. I have an infatuation with efi intakes.
