Build a wall to section off the trunk and passenger rear area and fill it with a big subwoofer box and speakers.
If you built the speaker box as a boattail, it could taper down to a single 12" sub. The taper of the tail would make it like riding inside an exponential horn.

I used to think about a red '34 Ford chopped 3-window fiberglass body dropped over a mid-engined sand rail frame with long travel A-arm suspension. It would have chrome Lakes pipes, but the part that looks like it goes to the muffler when the caps are on would actually be the exhaust from the mid-engine and it would act as a massive nerf bar. Gull wing doors.

Air-bagged so it could go from a street rodder stance to jacked up with a push button. It could turn off a road, jump the ditch and go right up the side of a hill.

The rumble seat would flip up into a bullet-proof shield, like 007's Aston Martin.
