The script down the side appears to say 'Anders Gemacht' which i think means 'Done Differently' in German. Putting a massive unnecessary wing on what appears to be an otherwise bog-standard Aston Vantage V8, is certainly doing it differently. :lol:

And his plate was Skyfall off course even though it’s the wrong Aston for the movie.

I was looking for an 'M' badge somewhere. The rest of it makes me think it would work.👍
 
Not my post; found on Wastebook.

Never mind the Alfa lights conversion, all those Tropiclassics are well worthy of this thread (if they haven't already featured) They're like a Ford Orion with growth hormone issues.
 
It could almost work on one of the earlier Souza Ramos Bumpside F-trucks if the taillights were lowered to be in line with the bump.

"Bumpside" here is the nickname for Ford's fullsize pickups sold for the 1967-72 model years in the US rather than an official name. Ford Brazil inexplicably used and updated those shells 20 years after the US moved on to Dentsides.
 
The fun thing about the Brazilian GM 20-series trucks is that the chassis was actually older than the "squarebody" styling it got from North American trucks, but they shared a fair bit of non-body cosmetic stuff like interior parts and wheels with contemporary NA counterparts.

This means when they introduced a 4x4 in 1989, you could get alloy wheels that were used on Z71s here.

Edit: They were also IFS like the C/Ks, but 4x4s got universal joints instead of CVs.

I keep getting Ford vibes with quick glances from the front. It's throwing me off. :lol:
 
Okay, I saw this on a Twitter comment, so now you all have to.

Wowzers. Red interior? Oh joy with that combo.
 
I saw it more as a personal mobile bee hive and the wheels as a mobile version of skee-ball and whac-a-mole.
 
What did this poor truck ever do?

Absolutely wild that someone clearly put a lot of effort and/or money into it and it looks like that.

"C10 Builder's Guide." I didn't click through from the preview to the page but I assume this was an example of what not to do?
