BangShift Reader Brawl: What Is The Automotive Equivalent To A Mullet?


BangShift Reader Brawl: What Is The Automotive Equivalent To A Mullet?

We certainly don’t have to explain to you what a mullet is. You know that it is the hairstyle favored by lots of Mopar owners and….ok, we’re KIDDING. The mullet is mostly favored by Canadians,  but I digress. See, the mullet hair style was one of the first things that the internet latched onto and turned into a “thing”. We’ve found ourselves blasting photos of people in public with crazy mullets and cracking mullet jokes at the expense of some poor guy without the good sense to just get a perm and be done with it. As there are with all things, an automotive equivalent of the mullet must be located and identified and it doesn’t have to be just one thing.

See, it could be some long dead trend that people are clinging to, it could be an actual make and model of car, or it could be something totally outside the physical nature of the cars themselves and just be and attitude thing. If you want to go really hard you can give us the automotive equivalent of the mullet AND  a jean jacket but then we’d be going to a pretty dark place so don’t blame us if you punch some emotional buttons you aren’t ready to hit.

Are trars automotive mullets? Stink bugged second generation Camaros? Rat Rods? Weirdo off-set wheels? Super Trapps? We don’t know, there are so many options and so many ways to take this we want YOU the BangShift readers to slug it out in the comment section below. To really get your juices flowing we’ll leave you with one more inspirational photo.

    my own personal ride personifies it.
    rubber bumper/disco era vette with
    big-n-littles and a snarly motor.

    as for the haters, i just say you
    WISH you could rock a mullet this hard!

  2. Singapore Hot Rod

    Teal monochromatic 1982 pro street Camaro with directional Center Lines, tweed interior, blown 350 Chevy, nitrous, wheelie bars. Runs solid 14 flat in the quarter. Engine may be painted bright yellow, but most likely also teal.

      Sounds like you either knew of one, owned one or even lost a race to one. C’mon a two second ET improvement for just one bolt on isn’t ALL bad.

    1. Happy Motoring

      Right….Drive through any run down trailer park and the answer is Camaro. From the disco-era models all the way to the catfish looking versions.

    Gabriel Hi-Jackers on a SWEET van. EasyPeasy!
    You forgot the bald on top mullet, which is still common to this day.

    Bandit Trans Am. The ’69 was an oddity, a Unicorn. 301 Big Block? The ’70+ was a Monster, 400, 455. But as the bumpers got rubberier and the headlights got squarer the car got Mulletier. Dragged the Z-28 right along with it. Worst cars of the Malaise. No back seat, no trunk, no stance, no performance. You HAD to put air shocks on them and balance out that high riding nose to get them to look just O.K. The 3rd gen takes the rap for the 2nd gen’s sins. What is the EASIEST way to make a tube frame look like a car? 3rd gen F Body. Wanna take a car and cut away and replace anything but the go fast? 3rd gen F Body. In the 2020s and 2030s the Gen 3 F Body will be the body of choice to go fast just like the 66-67 Chevy II is now.

    One part? The nitrous kit that has never been refilled. ALL those plate kits, so few bottles getting refilled.

  6. Robert

    Any van from the 70’s with a mural painted on it.

    And of course the 3rd gen Camaro with T-tops and a Metallica sticker

  7. tw

    3rd gen f body of course , with a jacked up rear end , oversized tires, glasspack mufflers and 700hp stickers on each side . The mullet man tries to fool you with just a worn out 350 with the idle screw turned on the low side to make it sound like a nasty big cam engine .

    I know is some cultures in the car hobby 20 plus inch wheels are all the rage. But, If you a 60 plus year old white guy and you have 22 inch wheels on you muscle car and rubber band tires .I’ll put it this way ,you ain’t from the hood ,That is an nasty look in my opinion. And those fake “bug catcher ” intakes on top of your carbs ..You know the type .The ones with the butterflies that don’t work .I get bolting on cool looking stuff. But that ain’t one of them

  9. Tony

    Side pipes. . Better known as ankle burners around these parts… a 20 ft roll of flex pipe and a hacksaw to hook them up.. always with a leak.
