If you want a one of a kind car and customizing a model that’s mass produced is still too mainstream for you, how about buying a cruiser that has been built from scratch using parts and design cues from other vehicles?
The one that we have here, and which is referred to as SixTen Spirit, is a car like no other, as it’s been built from the ground-up to represent a modern classic-style cruiser.
In other words, the goal of this project was to retain the look of a classic cruiser but mix it with everything you can find on a modern car, so while it has the long flowing fenders that remind of 1930 models, you’ll still get cool stuff like air conditioning, power steering, and power windows.
The old and new mix happens pretty much everywhere you look. The car comes with chromed bumpers similar to the ones used on the 1930 Ford Model A, but on the other hand, if you get inside you can find a Bluetooth stereo system with an amp mounted in the trunk.
There are all kinds of new parts on this car, including the transmission, the exhaust system, the suspension, and the leather interior. The owner installed a wood engrained steering wheel and 80-spoke wheels similar to the ones used on classic cars.
As for what’s putting this modern classic car in motion, it’s a Ford 5.0-liter V8 engine that’s been driven for a little over 100,000 miles (160,000 kilometers). However, everything runs just like new, so if you buy the car, you should be able to drive it home without the need for any other improvement.
Because yes, this cruiser is up for sale on eBay, and if you’re ready to pay $32,000 for it, you can park it in front of your porch today. The car is located in Sunnyvale, California, but the owner says it ships worldwide too.
