DeLar Custom Coupe (found on Bring a Trailer). 😧
Here's a rewritten auction description with the help of AI:
Introducing the 'DeLar' - a masterpiece of automotive confusion from 2017, where someone decided that 'original' meant 'let's stretch a 1998 Dodge Dakota chassis like taffy.' This custom coupe sports hand-formed steel and aluminum that would make any metalworker question their life choices.
With a body inspired by prewar French design, or possibly Lego, this car is painted in a bold red and black combo, making it look like it’s perpetually in the middle of an identity crisis. The 350ci Chevy V8 under the hood roars through dual exhausts that look more like they belong on a dragon than a car, with headers that could double as garden sculptures. It's paired with an Edelbrock carburetor because, apparently, we're in a world where more is more.
The wheels, red-painted 16-inchers with homemade hubcaps, give this beast the stance of something that's not quite sure if it's coming or going. BFGoodrich Silvertown whitewalls complete the look, screaming 'vintage' in a way that's more 'yard sale find' than 'classic elegance.'
The odometer reads just eight miles, which might be because every time it's driven, people stop to gawk or run for their lives.
So, if you’re looking for a conversation starter at the next car show - or if you just want to ensure no one ever parks next to you again - this DeLar is up for grabs. Comes with build documents and an Illinois title that might just be the most creative use of paperwork in automotive history. Happy bidding!
