It is Sunday morning and my normal bloggin’ ritual on Sunday morning is to wake up nice and early and get to writing the blogs of the day. Typically on Sunday I will roll back through emails from the week and other notes I get via FB, Twitter, or from space through the antennae on my tin foil hat. I then forward the “good” stuff on to you via this very blog. It is a system that I enjoy, it works, but after seeing this Caprice I think I am going to quit doing it.
The fact that this car exists creates a vortex that I can actually feel sucking my will to live from my body. Who in the bloody hell conceived of this idea? Outwardly anyway, it seems that the swap was done professionally. I can hate the look but still appreciate the (potential?) workmanship in the car, right? Unless the other side is actually held on with duct tape, the install is pretty clean. That being said, this thing will be giving me night terrors for ages.
The car is for sale in Winston-Salem, North Carolina and here’s the text of the ad:

All parts are racing parts .

Oh, the shame and embarrassment….that poor Chevy!
I feel for that poor front clip that’s cursed to living it’s life on the front of a Chevy.
I like the fact that they call these kinda cars ‘lowered’, when you could slide under & change the trans filter & gasket without jacking it up at all
Never heard anyone call these cars called “lowered” as you put it. I have heard them called “Donks” though and “Cool Whips’. Maybe get clued into popular culture a bit more before you try to dis on something?
I think he was probably reading the tags at the end of the ad – lowered is there…uh, I take it from your comments that you actually like this look? Not sure ` popular culture ‘ would be an appropriate term for such a hideous piece of crap but hey, each to his own – I’d hate to dis on it….(probably rather piss on it but there you go..)
Is this payback for the Metro and the Maxima? That thing is more of a dumpster fire than a Miley Cyrus performance. Kill it now, and with absolute prejudice.
Kill it before it breeds.
Ya think the guy’s ashamed of having a Chevy? Maybe that’s why he committed the sacrilege of ruining a Charger front clip like that.
Lets hope that the person that created this turd doesn’t breed.
Looks to me that a Chevy owner actually wanted a Mopar.
Wonders never cease
While this car is definitely ugly, the body work looks good from the picture. The front end seems to fit rather well. This may be a fail but, I wouldn’t say it’s a complete fail.
I wish i could justify this but no…no.. this is just too wrong.
It seems like an awful lot of work to make something so ugly. I really don’t get the donk thing though, I’m just surprised it’s not painted to look like a Rice Krispies box or something.
While not my cup of tea, you can see from the link below that a well-done donk has a certain visual flow to it. The term “donk” refers to the Impala (animal) badge on some of the older cars. The impala animal badge was nicknamed “donk.”

The donk in the link is clearly high level workmanship &, if you squint a little, you can sort of “get it” (like a lead sled or a rat rod with no windows, no seats, and a skull- shaped shifter knob at eye level.
The Mopalet donk is just…misguided
Is that the new Daytona Charger Caprice Impala? I’m surprise it doesn’t have a Crown Vic rear section and call it the Big 3 brain fart.
The motives of a hood rat are hard to fathom.
This makes me ashamed to say i was born and raised in Winston Salem
