Lingenfelter is renowned for huge horsepower, OEM level conversions on high end domestic engines. I'd happily own anything they've ever had a hand in. Would you buy a car from Alois Ruf?
As far as the face, though - you're right. That is an unappealingly happy face.
well...maybe google him.
Lingenfelter headquarters is about 20 miles from me. They have a great collection of 250 Corvettes, muscle cars, and exotics. I have had the pleasure of viewing it.
No offense intended

That may be a bit happier than I'm after, El Gordo - but you do you, friend.

That's pretty awesome!
This showed up on BaT. Tow vehicle???

Doesn't say if it's numbers matching, so that probably explains the low starting bid.
But the working sunroof will help.

These comments have been outstanding. It feels so good to be understood. I came to this hobby for the cool, but I stayed for the absurdity. The absurdity of that rig is expert level
... and then you get to this little gem:

A 1966 Cadillac hardtop (no "B" pillar) with a freaking Cummins turbodiesel from a Ram truck.
The pair of them mash every button I've got.
The Caddy is unspeakably cool, and yes Carlos, it would be the perfect tow vehicle.
The SBC BMW 320i dragster is over the top in every single way - AND it's still street legal. That's right, put some grooved drag-slicks on that baby and take it for a $49 Blizzard up at the DQ.
Out-stinking-standing pair!
Must...
not...
buy.
Update: The Cummins-powered Caddy is in British Columbia and has no title, adding to its unattainably cool mystique.
Nice black BMW. I've loved mine for 11 years. I'm sure you'd love this one too, Stan.
Of course the driving experience might be a wee bit different.
And yes, the Cummins/Caddy is extremely cool.
Those Caddies were popular with the "Sopranos" crowd for the "8-man trunk", too.
