What the hell? Massive tubs and huge rubber is all good, as long as you have an engine to back it up. This commodore, according to the auction, has a stock Buick V6! Anyone else think this is as retarded as I do? |

Gee I reckon he was racing with that V6 in it.
Do you seriously think someone would do that to a car without the intention of putting a decent engine in it?

He makes no mention of the car being an unfinished project, or set up for a V8 and says it's ready to race with a minumum of changes. Just seems odd to me that by the looks of it he never intended on putting a V8 into it.

Not every V6 is a sad POS, I very much doubt its a piece of factory fineness. Could be something very strengthened , very boosted.

He probably took his drag motor out and put the stocky back in to sell it.
