For $12,500, This Cutlass Is A Master-Gator
For $12,500, This Cutlass Is A Master-Gator-February 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:10:07

Donks are a special breed of car culture, favoring audacious style over function. Today’s gator-themed Cutlass is perfect example of this, but will its price put it between a croc and a hard place?

When it comes to both donks and a dude’s downstairs dangle, there's no question that size matters. Don’t let anyone tell you different. Derived from the slang term for a bootilicious lady’s back bumper, the donk culture arose out of Southern Hip Hop, which itself was a reaction to the East Coast/West Coast bias in the genre.

Mostly featuring American iron from the ‘80s and ‘90s, the objet d'art of the form is to fit insanely huge wheels under the car, making the whole thing look like some sort of urban swamp buggy.

Today’s takes the swamp theme a step further having been customized in the form of an alligator fetishist’s wet dream. The pics in the Craigslist ad aren’t all that great, and in fact a couple look like pics of pics snapped off a TV screen, what’s up with that?

Further clouding the issue, the ad’s description doesn’t even extend to the car’s year nor whether or not any real gators were harmed in its creation.

But oh what a creation it is.

Resplendent in a scaled metallic green over gator belly colored five spoke high boys, this G-body looks to be an ’84-’88 edition. The most prominent feature, aside from the insanely phat wheels, is the alligator mascot - or perhaps that’s an anthropomorphic hood scoop - adorning the engine lid.

There’s more reptile on the inside, as well as a slew of little TV screens, stereo components and more scaly textures. The gators in here are also chrome-plated for that final touch of WTF? No word on whether the sneaks in the passenger footwell come with, but you do get a cool old school Hurst shifter with the purchase.

Look, I know this car isn’t your cup of O.E., and to be honest it isn’t mine either. That doesn’t however make it tragic or uninteresting, and in fact when it comes to show donks, this one is pretty amazing. The alligator theme is not only weirdly wonderful, but it’s also balls-deep. You don’t typically see that level of commitment to theme in cars like this.

So, today I’m asking you to step out of your comfort zone and consider for a minute the purchase of this gator-baitor, not for yourself but for someone how would totally respect such a show-stopping car- like maybe the world's biggest UofF fan. I then want you to consider whether that individual should pay the seller’s $12,500 asking price.

What do you think, is $12,500 a donkin’ good deal? Or, should that price make anyone say later gator?

You decide!

, or go if the ad disappears.

H/T to BigBroBri for the hookup. Yeah, he a playah.

For $12,500, Homy, Don’t You Know Me?
The only time that Nissan attempted to sell a cab-over minivan in the U.S. they gained a rep for carbecuing and had to all be recalled. Today’s diesel Homy proves what a shame that was, but will this rare van’s price prove equally shameful? It looks like for two grand,...

I recently decided to find out if the (one of the wildest, widest, and least practical cars on the road) could transport two people and luggage to a wedding four hours away without ruining a suit or setting itself on fire. And guess what? It can! Kind of. (: As...

For $2,500, Go On Patrol
The Nissan Patrol holds the distinction of being the first vehicle to successfully cross Australia’s brutal Simpson Desert. Similarly, buying today’s ’69 might just cross your mind, that is of course if its price doesn’t make you go d’oh! So it seems yesterday’s was a return visitor to these hallowed...

Today’s Suzuki is the kind of car you’d expect a murder of clowns to spill out of at every stop. It’s not clowning around however as it rocks a hot 358, but will its price prove a pie in the face? Sort of like how the age of the Dinosaurs...

For $3,500, Are Two Wheels Good?
Kawasaki’s motto used to be that they would let the good times roll. Motorcycles are pretty rare here on , but then this A1SS is even more so. Uncommon or not, you’ll still need to determine if its price makes for a rollin' good time. I have to say up...
