Jeff's Pic: Jetsons Look Tempest

It's been six months since my older brother passed on a cool ride tip. Last time it was a Fiat street rod. This time it's even more bizarre. What is that? A Pinewood Derby creation done large? I couldn't have guessed before reading the ebay listing, but it's a 1962 Pontiac Tempest rat rod. Proves once again that anything can be made cool with a bit of creativity, except, of course, a Ford Maverick.
The Tempest has been chopped, channeled, slammed, prodded and put through a food processor. It's powered by a Chrysler big blog. Brakes come off a 1942 Ford. Which means it's fast as hell and can't stop for shit, which is the definition of rat rod, I think. Check out the interior: a set of bomber seats and a sawed-off wheel to go with the safety first theme. Seller assures us this thing stands out of a crowd and draws attention. Really? But we still can't decide if that's a good thing. The car is so bizarre, we're at a loss for words.
