Avert Your Eyes: Someone Made A 1995 Buick Roadmaster “Superbird”


Avert Your Eyes: Someone Made A 1995 Buick Roadmaster “Superbird”

There are things that cannot be believed and there are things than cannot be unseen. This car is both of those things. We’ve shown you strange creations in all shapes and sizes from places across the globe on BangShift and the fact is that these weird cars reinforce the point that there’s a never ending stream of ideas out there when it comes to cars. It also proves the fact that lots of those ideas are very, very bad ideas that should never see the light of day. Take this thing for example, a 1995 Buick Roadmaster Superbird.

The rear wing we at least understand. We know it is supposed to look like the one which adorned the back of the Dodge Charger Daytonas and the Plymouth Superbirds that attacked the super speedways of the NASCAR circuit in the late 1960s  but what we can’t understand is the “cowl scoop”, and the growth which has sprouted out of the front bumper. Neither of those things makes a damned lick of sense and they get even weirder when you highlight them on their own. See, the cowl scoop actually does nothing but house a hood mounted tachometer. Why would you (a) mount a tach in the center of the hood of the car you are driving and (b) house it in a backwards mailbox lump of metal? Feel free to never answer that question. Regarding the thing on the front bumper, we’re not even going to try to explain that hot mess. Jutting out about two feet from the grill, the big sucker fish mouth looks like something that was added on the set of a B-movie. There’s “ground effects” on the sides of the car but those don’t even bear mentioning until you figure the other stuff out.

Power is from an LT1 350, and the seller is adamant that all the body work is done in steel and there is no body filler. That’s a comfort right?

    “Done in 12ga. Steel” No wonder it’s riding a little low. Surprised he didn’t paint over the windows and use video cams to drive it.

      I’ve been trying to figure out if a car was ever painted that color? The only thing was the base coat for desert camo. Byran…?

    Great, 50 tons of 12ga sheet metal on a bloated, wallowing, geriatric-mobile.
    Someone “donate” it to Freiburger and Finnegan for their next thrash battle.

    Looks like some weird kind of bosozoku attempt or something, but he stopped before the wheel flares and nutso exhaust. Maybe he sobered up?

    Well you know how people like saying “That’s off the Chain”. This guys is letting you know right off the bat – “There is no Chain”…..

    All steel and no body filler?!?! And just how exactly do you weld steel to those plastic bumpers??? All steel my azz. I call BS.
