I cannot take personal credit for blasting these photos. That honor goes to BangShifter Robert Burris who spotted this creation on the street while strolling around Manhattan. He didn’t put the pieces together as quickly as I did but we’re sure many of you took at look at this aging Lincoln limousine that has been “armored” with galvanized steel and immediately defaulted to the A-Team like I did. There’s no other possible explanation for this car other than coming to terms that B.A. Baracus, faced with overwhelming force from the bad guys and having only limited resources at his disposal, built this car while Face, Hannibal, and the mentally ill member of the A-Team fought it out with the bad guys. Just when it looked like things were going to go the bad guys’ way, BA and the boys busted through a filmsy sheetmetal “garage door” in their armored limo and beat the bad guys back, saving the day and then going to have sexy time with 1980s chicks.
The other explanation is that this is owned by some dink who fancies themselves an artist and this is some sort of statement. While the galvy won’t rust up like normal sheetmetal, it is also thin enough that rounds from a .22 would probably puncture it like they were heading through a brick of firm cheese. The treatment on the nose, the stuff on the roof, and the weird outgrowths on the quarters and hood literally make no sense. It made sense to someone but we didn’t get the memo. The thing sucks when you think of it in this context but it has some awesome still dripping off of it when you think about BA Baracus actually building it, right?
It’s actually a working prototype of Mario Balotelli’s new ride to carry around his vast army of admirers amongst Liverpol fans!
I’m thinking its Mayor De Blasio’s new ride since he’s pissed of the police.
A brain on drugs…unreal.
Someone has a brake and bead roller.
I do like the front clip. The dragon spines on the back are a bit much, but that front clip belongs on someone’s evil themed drag car.
It is kind of Hollywood-ish. Looks like something the villain ought to go with for traveling in style in a dark, dystopian future.
Looks like these guys swiped a lot of galvanized steel from a construction site.
Anyone report some missing HVAC duct work?
Strange, most the A-Team’s job’s are out west.
Try living *anywhere* in NYC and keeping your car nice and undented. People there park by feel – and this would certainly provoke 2nd thoughts among that city’s jaded and untalented drivers re. parking proximity. NYC’s the only place I’ve ever been where people signal a lane change by waving their cigarette at you.
I think I agree with you. This monster could be the result of constantly having his bumpers bashed by dickhead drivers.
Its one of many art cars built by Overkill Productions for, among other things, Burning Man and Robot Heart parties. This on has a reinforced roof so 20 people can dance on it. I shared an “after” picture on the Bangshift Facebook post.
