Another V8 HHR

Not sure if this has been spotted before... pardon any duplication. This is NOT my car.

Using a full tube frame, engine removal requires body lift. 6spd and 3.73 rear.

No radio. That spot is filled with gauges.
The "music" comes from the rumble of the V8.

It must be an 09 and up, no window switches in the console, but over there on the drivers door!

Interesting spot for the rad cap!

2008 - note, there are lots of changes and modifications. This was a high mileage vehicle. Some sort of fleet/business car. A/C works and at least some of the factory stuff was used in the dash. Steering column is Camaro.

And the hot air induction location of the air filter. Guess a small loss in HP doesn't really matter when you're running the extra ponies you get from a V8.
