I'm willing to bet that the owner of the car did it for under $300 (maybe less) and just for fun. Why spend more when you can have some fun?


Also, @ a Grand Am owner making fun of Cavaliers.... not exactly a huge step up

One could make a valid argument that N-bodies are "junk".

Am I the only one that kinda gets why someone might do this? Maybe he had the parts laying around, got bored one weekend, bought a couple cases of beer, and had some fun making a car that (while unfortunate looking and not very practical) is probably a blast to drive. I sure wouldn't mind building something off the wall like that. Sometimes its more about the act of building the car than the actual finished product.

pretty much why i had the thought and will end up doing it, most likely next year sometime. i already have most if not all the parts lying around including a spare hood to cut up.

@ Brendan: doesn't your motor have high compression? How you going to dial in the supercharger? New heads? Pistons?

The guy parted out the car, he's selling the SC and most of whats needed to make it work on a GA for $700
