Amoco Ultimate Favorite: Rat Rod CRX
I’m really loving entry # 1284, a rat rod CRX.
Bought this car from a guy that was taking it to a scrap yard. I payed $800 for it and started restoring it. After three years its almost done. I did a 95 del sol motor swap then turboed it with a homemade turbo kit I put together. Its making just over 200HP and is a blast to drive on the street.

I had an 88 and 89 crx and never thought about doing a rat version out of them, not a bad idea at all.

Great little cars. I’d probably still have mine if some kid hadn’t ran through a red light and totalled it. Kinda cool the he got 200hp without performing an engine swap, too. JC – HondaExplosion.com

like choppers have become so passe’ now that every dr and dentist harley wanna-be owns them, the rat rod look is going to be the same thing; granted, you take a $250k lambo and paint it flat black, you have made a statement, but then, at least the paint is applied correctly and the seams all blend in well, unlike this rolling travesty

lovin’ the oversized steelies and low pros. That’s a combination that’s very rare indeed.

rat rod is all good; just question it when you use 26″ dubs and fart-can ricers…i love well done rice-cars, but on the verge of being a 799.95 overpayment for a worn out civic, i think at least an earl schribe paint job would have been wiser

I kinda like the rat-rod look applied to later-model cars. The paint on my ‘68 Fury is getting bad enough that I’m going to have to do something about it soon, and the all-flat-black thing is something I’ve considered as an alternative to the hideously-expensive strip-prep-prime-repaint I’d like to give it.
I’m not painting my chrome Magnum 500 wheels red, though.
