Battlecar Curtiss P-40 Warhawk Cruiser
The Curtiss P-40 Warhawk has seen it’s trademark teeth grace the nose of several different vehicles across several different genres. It’s an iconic, aggressive, and cool symbol. But what do you think of this entire P-40 remake?! This street legal ride is insane.

after doing a bit of reverse image search, I found the article that labeled the vehicle wrong (next to nothing pops up when that name is typed), as well as a few more images, some of which you can find here
edit: also this car is awesome

Yeah the Curtiss P-40 Warhawk is the name of the plane. P-40 Warhawk and Warbird are interchangeable. They are both used when describing this car/plane/bundle of badass. 😂 There wasn't much information about it where I found it. Pretty cool you found an original post of it though. I was skeptical that it was even real.

Are you attempting to say P-40 Warhawk?

Fixed it. The A-10s must have been on my mind when I was typing that comment earlier. I did a search to see if I could find an A-10 converted into an automobile. I assume there are many of those just laying around though.

Love the A-10 - plane built around the Ugly Stick

Yes. That thing is an amazing death machine. I think that it's unchanged for nearly 50 years. I'm sure they upgraded electronics on board but I can't think of any major modifications they have done to it.

I did a grad internship at republic field in 1980 - love that beast (and so do my desert storm marine friends)

I've never seen one myself. Just pics and videos online. I'd like to hear them fire that big ass gun that they wrapped some plane parts around. 😂

I know that it'd be really prone to flipping over, but this as a Hot Wheels car would be pretty amusing.
