That's funny, a carb'd motor nonetheless.


I figure the car was probably a salvaged car or something some one got real cheap and just said, why not. That thing would be fun to own for a few grand

I like it, but like CLpower said, it's got carbs, so it's probably was done on the cheap...

I wonder why they didn't use TPI on it... that would have increased the coolness factor... My cousin had a 350 w/ tpi in his Jeep and it didn't take much to get it together...

True... they can get expensive... I didn't notice the intake on the MB, but intake/carb could have cost a bit...

I'm just a sucker for anything with a 350 chevy motor in it... always have been, always will be...

EDIT: the thing was located in South Carolina... That's nascar country, so that explains things

I'd think it was cool if it didn't have the goofy rims, gauges and steering wheel, and the "RVsforLess.com" dealer sticker on the back.

They also took out the headlight rotary switch and replaced it with an old pullout style headlight switch.
