Badly modified cars thread Mk3

[lemansky]

Look at the poor expression on this car's face - eyes shut, thinking 'fk my life.'



There's probably been some thought and serious effort gone into the build - credit where it's due - but it still looks like something you'd get free in a packet of cornflakes.

Is that a normal length coupe exhaust put on a compact?

No there's also a handle on the other side too. Can then be used as a wheel barrow..

Arguably, the Classic ain’t the prettiest of cars, but you have to ask why try and improve it like this

What is/was that?

A customised’ Ford Classic (aka Consul Classic 315) produced between 1961 and 1963, and a bit of a sales flop for Ford.

This specimen is modified with all sorts of dubious additions, including what appear to be ‘63 Ford Thunderbird rear lights, Mk 1 Cortina ‘Aeroflow’ vents on the C posts, weird dorsal fins on the rear wings, odd things on the roof and a dreadful front spoiler

Cheers, I did a reg check to see what it was and it came up Ford Classic, but I had never heard of one of them, I just assumed it was a heavily modified Ford Cortina.

Yeah, the Cortina was a huge sales success, the Classic less so. Even the much prettier Capri version of it (the original Capri) didn’t sell well.

that's too intriguing to be written off as a badly modified without knowing its story.

I’d hazard a guess that the person who owns that is a hypermiler.
