That's about as ugly as it can get. And they want $2000? LOL

I would not let my dog ride in it.

The Horror! The Horror!

Had to move that abomination out of the Classifieds section, not only is it a third party ad, but it's simply horrible.

Well - it already looks like it is located in a scrap yard. For real...

I'd bet on an S-10 frame as well. Those (F-Body) wheels are commonly used by S-10 guys, and would never fit our cars.

OK, I'll give you this is hideous. With that said, it proves the concept of mating an HHR body to an S10 chassis. It's already rwd, lots of people have converted them to V8. I see some promise in this concept. Getting around the HHR vin# stamped on the cowl adds an added challenge, but there's gotta be a way around that.

At least give him some Brownie points for getting this far.

Those rims actually came as part of the S-10 RPO option ZQ-8, it was a high performance suspension/tire package offered on 2wd S-10 models for a few years.

The ZQ-8 suspension package also came as part of the "Xtreme" package with either the 2.2L or 4.3L engines.

GMC had an equivalent suspension package.

That's the suspension package with Bilstein shocks and two inches lower springs.
Or in this case the wheels and tires are swap meet deal!!
