There are times when you see a car which just leaves you speechless. Unfortunately for us that could be either Duesenberg or the International “Truckcar“. This, unfortunately, is the case of the latter. The amazing part is that someone actually took the time and effort to create this thing.
From the ad:

Good heavens, that body must weigh two tons alone.
There's a reason Ferrari used carbon fiber, you know.

Swap in a diesel, add a turret, and you have the ultimate track-day terror.

I imagine this is how he says one of the lines…
"This is steel… (pause, light cigarette, blow out smoke) …unfinished" *walk off into sunset*
omg wow.. perfect

They didn't have a motion called "Lights A Cigarette," dang it.

There are no words…
Oh I don't know about that. Here are a few:
Ridiculous
Horrifying
Terrible
Shit fence ugly
Stupid
Total waste
Laughable
Retarded
Idiotic
Eyesore
Tom Six-esque
Blasphemy
Crime against humanity
Steaming pile
Time to trot out the blinking Gallagher again…

You call that a Gallagher? This is a Gallagher!

He must be working from a description of an Enzo having never seen one.
Somebody had the vision to build this, and the talent and determination to execute the plan to this point. It's a shame that he didn't have the funds to see it all the way through.
Now his dream is shattered, he'll never make up the lost time or the money spent on this, his friends/family are going to rub his nose in "I told you so", and the world will chalk this up as yet another example of why you shouldn't be ambitious.
I agree with you. The result of his work is buttugly and deserves ridicule, but man…I don't even find the time to repaint my fence.
Time to try a different approach for the fence.

Haha, nowadays boys know a scam when they see one. At least outside of Knoxville.
I bet he totally got an "A" at Knoxville Community College's "Intro to Welding" weekend course.
This fella is the welding pride of Walter's State (Rogersville's community college).
Seriously, I admire his ambition, and hate my cynical self for thinking first of this poster when I saw this.

Looks like he's about to drink a bottle of 7-Up.
He has a bright future … in HVAC.
It has to be the car that the bad guys drive in the new Mad Max flick
Sting: There's a hole in my heart as deep as a well for that poor
Knoxville boy, who built the Enzo from Hell..
Sideshow Mel: Though we can't get the vision out, we'll do the next best
thing…
McBane: We'll go on Hooniverse and sing, sing, sing!
All: And we're sending our love down to the Enzo from Hell..
Krusty: All the way down!
All: We're sending our love down to the Enzo from Hell…
Krusty: Down to Hell!
We miss you when you're not around.
Well played, sir.
Me thinks he shifted a decimal place in his price. Or two.
Also, how did this not win last week's Craig'slist Craptastic Shootout?
Enzo Rat Rod?
It has a nice patina to it.
Perhaps this is the Discovery Channel's new TIV 3 for the new season of "Storm Chasers".
Would love to see the "All Steel Tube Frame" with the body off. If the one weld I can see through the open engine cover is any indication, the "All Steel Tube Frame" has got to be a helluva lot scarier than the body. And square tubing? Geeesh!

"Complicate and remove lightness. The mantra of the man with few tools, few skills, and few available options."
Fixed it for you.
I hate to slam anyone trying to fabricate a project car. However, at what point of the build you do objectively look at your creation and realize that it has gone horribly wrong.
The point right before you advertise it on CL.
I actually call shenanigans.
This was actually dug up by archaeologists from a dig performed near a Pennsylvania steel mill. Artifacts found around the site were dated to around 1870. It is now assumed that this particular find can be attributed as the work of a group of pioneering steel fabricators who were thinking approximately 135 years ahead of their time.
Any Enzo resemblance it may have is entirely coincidental.
What a steel!
