For $6,999, This Fairlane Is Wheelie Cool
For $6,999, This Fairlane Is Wheelie Cool-July 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:10:07

People often reference the long arm of the law, but nobody ever talks about the short cars of the law. With today's Fairlane however, we're about to change all that.

Do you remember the from way back on Christmas Eve? Or, have you been in an eggnog-induced stupor ever since then, as that's the only way you can make it through all the family gatherings over the holiday? Well, in case it's the latter, let me refresh your memory, if not your cup of Nog. That survivor '83 walked away with an amazing 94% Nice Price win, which was all the more surprising as it seemed to be Dealer offered.

The color of today's Nice Price or Crack Pipe Mazda RX-7 is Havana Brown, and like the legend of…

It's highly unlikely that you'd find today's wildly customized at a dealer, unless what they were dealing was jokers, it's just that smile inducing. From the description in the ad, this amazing mod job started out as a four-door sedan. Cut down to an extra short two-door, it also eschews a Ford mill under its tilt-forward hood, preferring instead a Caddy monster… in the back seat.

That's right, this cop car can't handle transporting perps because it's already loaded down with a drivetrain out of an Eldorado. That means a humungous 472-CID eight with a chain-driven THM425 tucked underneath, all providing an extremely lardastic and rearward weight bias.

The seller claims that means that this cop car - Da Fuzz - is able to pick up its front wheels and drag its rear bumper like an itchy butt dog. Hopefully it also comes with riot gear, because you can bet this thing must be a riot to drive.

It's also hugely comical, both in the phony baloney cop car livery and in its truncated appearance. The front end is jacked up on its cart-sprung straight axle, and looks to have enough sproing in its springs to make wheelie landings as much fun as their popping. Red lights in place of the high beams, strobes, and a gum ball ensure this'll be entertaining even at a stop, and it has external speakers that can play cop TV show themes when the mood hits you.

Apparently running and driveable, what's possibly the most amazing thing about this crazy car is the fact that it is seemingly street legal. The ad notes that and says the the lights, wipers, turn signals and everything else you might need are all there and in working order.

The ad also notes that while the car was built by a 'master fabricator' and has been doing the stand up circuit for more than three years without fail, it is a little rough around the hedges. You might want to take that into consideration when connecting the car to its $6,999 price tag. Hell, even its price looks like it's popping a wheelie!

What do you think about that, is $6,999 a deal for this nutzo fuzz mobile? Or, does that price simply not pop your wheelies?

You decide!

or go if the ad disappears.

H/T to Civardi for the hookup!

Are you jonesing for a real ‘70s car chase? Well, today's candidate will help you be the bandit, good buddy, but it may leave you feeling a bit blue. Yesterday we dragged Johnny Cash through the bondo-crusted mud and came away with 79% of you wanting to give that a...

Not everything from the late ‘70s was malaise-inducing. Today, it's up periscope for some Italian insanity. Yesterday, pokey and the bandit brought down a 67% Crack Pipe vote, disproving the seller's pricing acumen and setting off a flurry of banjo music in everyone's heads. Today we're going to stay in...

Offend the Man in Black for a Mere $4,500!
Johnny Cash made a career out of tapping into his innermost feelings of sorrow, loneliness and moral turpitude. Today, has a car that's all that and a bag of chips. When Wayne Kemp penned the rockabilly song- One Piece at a Time it's doubtful he had anything like today's contender...
