OK, Here’s an opportunity for you folks to browse your collections and the web for the world’s ugliest race cars!!

I’ll start it off with this classic piece of machinery from 1972 - A Nash Metropolitan Supermodified!!

Game over.

Check out the timeless styling of a classic Renault, accented by genuine masking tape numbers. This was actualy a competitive mini stock in 1971. It raced at Florida City with Jim Smith behind the wheel.

This jewel was a Hialeah Cyclone that was either owned or driven by Paul McGill. Gotta love the dyslexic “55”.

Its the home-made headers that make this one a classic.

Ugly maybe but,Well it’s not one of the Met’s,it’s a cut up Henry J.
Not that it matter,your still right about the looks.:grinser010:

Ok all

I have got a local nomination for this one… Couldn’t get the darn picture to post… But I am sure you all have seen this one if you have been to NSS or OSW lately… That would be the #29 Super Stock, Grey and Silver…

Rex you know which one I mean…

Have a great day all…

This is the ugliest one I could find.

29 Super stock? I can’t picture it. There is a 99 that is gray and silver, but that one is neatly painted and lettered.

Here is one we can all agree on. I don’t know what it is, but its so ugly it must have been made in the UK! Better check if it is leaking oil; then we’ll know for sure.

Looks like someone tried to mate an Austin Healey Sprite with a Shelby Cobra!!

I’m going to go out on a limb and say that’s a Ginetta Coupe/Shooting Brake monstrosity.

Who would drive this awful looking enduro car in 1990? Uh…I did. (hangs head in shame)

put a new body on it? ah, screw it. they’ll just wreck the heck out of it again.

Not simply ugly, these Cyclones are awfully ugly. Dan Switzer drove the mud brown 02, and Joe Lett Jr. was in the suprisingly competitive Zero.
