Wow this is a disgrace.I honest to God got nauseous when i saw this. He turned an 84 Trans am into a motor cycle. It's sickening.

You sure are quick to judge. "Mint"? Maybe the whole front was wiped out & wrecked? Maybe an engine fire cooked all the sheetmetal & warped it to hell?

Try asking the owner before you snap to judging him. Asinine statements like yours makes me wanna do stuff like that simply to **** people off.

Is that even legal? It looks like it would tip over if you turn too fast.

You see it negatively. Instead of crushing the car due to it possibly being unfixable or not worth fixing in the front, and there being no third gen, he made something out of what was remaining of it.

Re: Feast your eyes on the..Trans-cycle..?

haha, i think its kind cool.

And for the rest, how do you say it looks like it was mint? its OBVIOUSLY a custom creation, so perhaps it was cleaned up and PAINTED? for ***** sake it could have been a rusty mess, wrecked perhaps, and was salvaged into..... whatever you would call this new automobile. you seriously think this guy just took a swazall, hacked a car in half, welded it to a motorcycle and drove off? come on. Look at the pics, see all the litte details? the roof is capped and smoothed on the front, the door jambs are smoothed and have marker lights, it has a tow hitch....
