Just when you thought the Prius couldn't look any more slug-like... Now all it needs is some mechanism for leaving a trail of slime.

@mechimike: The goofy thing about that is that the ancient Webster's Unabridged Dictionary we have at home has a definition for "cimarron" that says something about it being an indentured slave or something like that. I haven't been able to find that in any of the online references, so they must all be wrong.

I'd love to find a copy of one of these for cheap/nothing to give to my boss as a gag; he's the company founder & president, and named the outfit Cimarron Label.

I can see lots of downsides to this contraption...

Were they able to save the motor?

The question is, what did Murilee drive to The Monterey Historics?

@Smells_Homeless: If only...

Drool. Thanks for those photos; most excellent.

@Gaseous Clay: Call it a Taurus and put some Texas long horns on the hood.

That looks pretty insane. @newfmike: I had to pull up the high-res version of the last photo to figure out the steering; tiny steering wheel with a death knob to the driver's left. Wonder if it's got power assist. Totally flippin' insane.

What, no jet engine exhaust on those side ports?

GLHS, hands down. But if that yahoo with the CSX ($6,500 for that? What's he smoking?) turns his back for twenty minutes those wheels would belong to the GLHS.

Show off.

Who is Bob Glidden?

@Bad Juju: Looks like an aftermarket opportunity to me as well. Call it the "Spite Pontiac Execs" package; a few bowties to replace the Star Trek badges front & back, a set of four blank coins for the wheel centers, and a set of "Chevrolet El Camino" nameplates. Maybe a revamped grille & bumper... Wonder if the wife…

@PatFromGundo: Donksled was my first thought too. But it needs more chrome... Lots more.

I still see a lot of Mavericks (and Comets) all restored and/or rodded up around here. Guess that gives a little credence to the hunch that boremobiles like the GM A-bodies might someday be sought after for restoration.

@EdFinnerty: Is it just me or is that Google Maps image really disorienting? Looks like multiple images were stitched together right at that point; some of the buildings appear to lean to the left, others to the right... Like M.C. Escher was in charge that day.

"... now it's one of the nicest Yugoslavian cars in Northern California."

Oh, and that bit about 2 deaths and seven injuries... that was the stupid aftermarket propane tank. Now that Mr. CA-state-deputy-of-boilers-and-pressure-vessels has that sorted out, it's perfectly safe.
